Actual conversation I had with my son today - had me raging:
Him: Yeah dad, I think the Kraken get 60 wins this year
Me: HA, foolish child of the emerald city, you speak as if history was a tavern tale. But the scrolls bare not but sorrow for thine ilk.
Him: But Matty Beniers is like a really young and faster version of Larkin.
Me: I have born witness to ages unending! From Vlad the impaler to Pasha the magic man! In the frost-bitten halls of the Joe we forged centers like sacred blades. Beniers is but a butter knife...
Him: Sure, but the Wings havent been good since like 2011.
Me: Thou clingeth to a young team! Since then many winters have passed, like sand through an hour glass, and our pool ripens with age.
Him: Yeah, but the Kraken are still ahead of you.
Me: YOU ARE BUT A CARCASS DECLARING YOURSELF A FEAST.
He stopped talking to me after this. Was I too harsh? Too guarded? I feel like I should ground him for his traitorous insolence, but I'm not sure. Honest feedback appreciated.
