**Petty quarrels** About time you took out the trash! Bedtime! Aw, Ma, I don’t wanna go to bed! Can’t you remember to put down the toilet seat? Do you have some religious or moral objection to emptying the lint trap on the dryer? Every single time you neglect to put on a new roll of toilet paper! Folding laundry isn’t really that difficult…you could try it once in a while. Get your damn clothes out of the dryer. Haven’t you had enough candy for one evening? I really wish you could get off your butt and shovel the snow. Just wondering if you were going to get around to vacuuming at some point. KeSha? How can you possibly like her music? Lower the thermostat - it’s like an oven in here! Maybe you could put your socks in the hamper instead of leaving them on the floor? NEVER point your finger at ME Oh, you know what you did, all right! Don’t try to act like you don’t know what you did. Perhaps you could do the laundry today? Quit calling me ‘Chuck,’ you know I go by Charles and are just trying to annoy me! Really? You’re just going to let all those crumbs just sit on the counter? ---
