Painful Beauty

My child: "Dad, am I beautiful?"

Me: "You’re like the sun, sweetie. You’re painful to look at."

Explanation

Experiment

The humor comes from the dad using a seemingly positive comparison (comparing the child to the sun) to deliver an insult, saying the child is painful to look at. It's a form of backhanded compliment.
