[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Saint of Taint Retaliating to an overreaction is childish as well, regardless of your age. Something may have been amiss and she may have been in a -blam!- mood. That is her prerogative. Your job as a child/teen/mooch who doesn't pay for goods is to accept the good attitudes with the bad. Making smart-ass comments to your mom gets you no where.

Be grateful and keep your mouth shut.[/quote] Again, I am grateful. Again, I wasn't a dick, initially. Again, I retaliated to her overreaction.[/quote][/quote] We've already established that my comment was in no way snide or smart-assey and she was not already in a foul mood. I'm not going to let her shout and swear at me when I did nothing wrong.
