Conversations with a 13-Year Old: "Towels"
Nanda comes into the front room, holding the dirty towel he used to clean the bathroom. He points at the basket of towels that I am folding.
NANDA: Are those clean?
ME (looking at the towel I am currently folding): What do you think?
NANDA: Well, I don't know, I was just asking...
ME: Try this out next time you have a question: actually observe your surroundings and try to answer it yourself, and maybe you don't get so many pissy, sarcastic comebacks.

Maybe I'm an asshole, but seriously, kid?
