Children can be so unkind without understanding the consequences of what they are doing. <BR/><BR/>I have yet to come up with a standard verbal response that is an effective antidote to alcoholic argument bait.

I don't think that I could deliver the line without a trace of sarcasm. I probably would be better off just keeping my mouth shut. That sometimes speaks volumes.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.com
