Denials?!?!

Parent: You smelled like booze last night
RADish: We did not smell like beer
Parent: Well, actually you did
RADish: Did I slur my words? Did I walk funny? NO
Parent: Yes you did
RADish: Prove it! Oh wait, you can't because I wasn't drunk. Give me a piss test
Parent: That wouldn't show anything
RADish: Fine, I'll do a blood test
Parent: Well, you appear sober now--so unless you're still drunk or just had a drink, nothing will be evident.
RADish: That's cuz I wasn't drinking.

They're convinced we really are that stupid. I wonder if I'll be there when the world bites them in the butt. I really hope not.

Sad thing is, we'll continue to play this game with them, and we'll continue to let them get away with it. I don't have the energy to fight them, nor do I have the desire. I'm satisfied to not have animosity towards them.

Sounds like the Radishes have been successful at pushing me away.
