So I go and get some refreshments and head back.


Lost,

She's testing you. So why are you having your son speak for you? What did YOU say to defend yourself? And why did you reward her behavior by dutifully trotting out to get drinks?

A better response might have been "Obviously, I wasn't aware of the arrangements. Maybe rather than the disrespectful tone of your lecture -- which I really don't appreciate, by the way -- you might have reminded me before we got here that we should have picked something up. If it bothers you so much, maybe you should run out and get something. Now if you'll excuse me, I see Todd over there (or whatever), and I want to go say hello."

And you walk away.

Puppy


I like that.
