波特家法第N条：
严禁任何雄性动物近女儿三尺！那俗话说得好，没事献殷勤，非奸即盗！波特家法第N+1条：不准乖女儿离开家方圆一百里！这天远地远的，且不说老爸想得以泪洗面，万一有个好歹，该咋和祖宗交待？！所以，当梅兰妮居然...竟然...胆敢想一路开车到几百英里外的乔治镇，事先去各个目标大学考察一番，以决定将来要报考的学校的时候，老爸詹姆斯就差那么一点点就心脏病发爆毙当场！老天老天，这可是40分钟车程之外呢！
不过，万能警长哪能被小小的“困难”击退！不就是出门远行嘛？就算请假，俺也要亲自押送，哦不，护送女儿上路！这一来，不但能替女儿的未来学校把关，没准还能增进父女感情。自告奋勇的詹姆斯一路又唱又扭挺高兴，可他强烈的保护欲只是越来越遭到女儿的反感。偏偏这趟还没出发就要爆发的旅程，更是一路跌跌撞撞倒霉透顶。可怜的詹姆斯只能祈祷：幻想的快乐父女行别一眨眼就变成不着边际的发疯之旅！

Okay. Life lesson. A lot of people think the moment a parent lets go of their child is at the wedding. Not me. Think he's crying because he's giving away his daughter? Uh-uh. It's because she's marrying this guy. Truth is, he said goodbye years ago, the day she left home. The trouble starts here. College application season. With over 4,000 colleges in the US, I developed five reasons for choosing the perfect one for my little girl. Academics, distance from home, campus safety, distance from home, and last but not least, distance from home. Which led us to the best choice. Northwestern. Forty miles from our house. Safe, great education. I can get there in 28 minutes, clocked. Now, you can never start a plan too early.
