Me: Oh, it's so bad.
Mom: (disappointed) Really?
Me: It's not even a first book, and ... and the passive voice, and the excessive use of epithets ...
Mom: (lost) Oh ...
Me: I swear, it's not you, it's me. I'm anal and elitist.
And also:
Me: Mom, think of it this way. If I took you to a miniature golf tournament played by middle-schoolers, would you like it?
Mom: Probably not.
Me: Exactly.

Hate DVC for the right reasons, folks.
