in which Ann is taught a lesson
Mom is in huge pain, and it's all because of spite.
She's pulled a muscle in her lower back. One of those really painful things that makes her shriek every time she moves. After becoming thoroughly fed up with me running into the room every time she turned the page in a book, she finally said, "Look. Just ignore me. If I actually need you, I will say Oh God oh God come help me quick. If I just scream, I'm fine. Okay?" "All righty." This made trying to sleep interesting for all the household, but I digress.
Somewhere in the middle of House, she said, "I know when I did this! It was when I took that damn laundry basket down the stairs."
"You mean the one I wanted to carry for you because it was heavy and awkward?"
"Yes. The one I pulled down one stair at a time."
"When it would have been much simply to just let me carry it?"
"Yes. But I could see it was really ticking you off that I had it, so I decided to do it myself."
"So this is entirely your own fault?"
"Well, yes."
"You sure showed me!"
"I sure did."

her: well, yes. but they might miss one.
me: wouldnt it be easier to pull the one they missed, then to pull them all?
her: *glare* *weed* *weed* *weed*

...Now that's just eerie. "Why don't I move that incredibly heavy object?" "I've GOT IT!" "I'm closer. I'm touching it right now." "GET YOUR MITTS OFF OF THAT NOW!" "'kay."
