Stupid arguments

[verylisa]

My daughter is angry at me because I used plastic bags to bring the groceries home.

Never mind that these are biodegradable plastic bags, and anyway I'm planning to use them to clean up dog poop, and if I didn't use these ones, I'd be deliberately buying other plastic bags to clean up the dog poop with. Never mind that most of the stuff we buy

Heh. I once had some bitchy check-out dude roll his eyes at me for wanting a bag (and VERY pointedly told me about the store's plastic bag recycle bins) - THESE ALL GET RE-USED, BOZO!

A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.

I tried to explain to my daughter that I've been reusing my shopping bags since before she was born. No dice. Apparently I have now reached the stage of parenting where I know nothing and must be sighed heavily over.

Snerk.

it's better than reaching the stage where Hunter Thompson had to advise Ralph Steadman that his son breaking plate-glass windows was preferrable to turning on the television and seeing the boy standing over the body of Margaret Thatcher, holding a smoking machine gun.

I would give you a big box of patience if i had any, this might take a few years.
