My mom and I were having our usual argument…that isn't really an argument. It is just us talking until one of us has the clever last word. Finally, I had the clever last word! Here is how the conversation went:

 

Mom: Leaving dishes in the sink over night is one of my biggest pet peeves.

Me: Why?

Mom: Because I don't like to wake up in the morning to a sink full of dishes

Me: Just don't look at the sink

Mom: I can't not look at the sink. I have to look at the sink. It is a pet peeve!

Me: You know what my pet peeve is?

Mom: …

Me: Terrorist. Let's compare pet peeves and see whose is worse.
