Assignmet #37

Write down a recent argument. 

{Approximately 10:37 in the morning on a Wednesday. 34 degrees fahrenheit. Television on in the background. "The View". It's  the two of us.}

Me:  "I think that I'm going to sell my eggs."

You: "What?"

Me: "I said...I'm going to sell my eggs."

You: "Your eggs...?"

Me: "Yeah. Sell 'em."

You: "Where did this come from?"

Me: "It didn't 'come' from anywhere, Mom. I've just decided. And that's that."

You: "Oh! Okay...so you've 'decided'. Who you gonna sell your eggs to?"

Me: "Whoever wants them..."

You: "Well, I think it's a stupid idea."

Me: "Of course you do."

You: "What's that supposed to mean?"

Me: "It means you think all of my ideas are stupid."

You: ---

Me: "It means you think I'm a fucking idiot."

You: ---

Me: "It means you've never cared ONCE about what I want."

You: ---

Me: "It's ALWAYS been about what YOU want. Hasn't it?"

You: ---

Me: "Hasn't it?!?!"

You: ---

Me: ---

You: ---------

Me: ---------

Me: "I'm not even old enough to sell my eggs anyway."

You: "I know."
