       @futurebird HAH!Reminds of me Dad calling something I said an "excuse", and he asked: Do you know the difference between a reason and an excuse?Me: Yeah, if you say it, it's a reason, but if I say it, it's an excuse.Worth the immediate punishment, but it did (later) cause some introspection, and entered his anecdotes as a "wisdom from the mouths of kids" example.
