	   That would indicate Spice both knows her parental situation and
  would recognize Ranma upon seeing him.  She's basicly just coming home at
  an oppertune moment.  As for Mousse, it's a bit of sarcasm.  Sounds better
  than just "You have a daughter"

Point taken, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth.

Come to think of it, the two are not mututally exclusive; Mousse's
remark could be followed by a "Father?" from Spice....

        Sorry, I didn't read part one so maybe I'm way off here.  Doesn't
Spice think Mousse is her daddy?  In which case she would be confused
and wouldn't understand that Ranma is her father.  She might say "Daddy?"
but be speaking to Mousse.
        I thought Mousse loved Spice though he might be bitter about her
parentage.  I wouldn't have thought he would do that to her...
