I’m nearly 40 and my dad still does this. Drives me insane

Some things truly never change, haha

How old are you?

Uhh, why does that matter?
Isn’t this a common experience?

When’s the last time your parents gave you a lecture? Lol

I’m more concerned why you are so desperate to know. It’s completely irrelevant, humans have the gift (and curse) of memory, it could have been yesterday or 20 years ago, it’s just a common experience people joke about

I only ask because it’s obviously something fresh in your mind. It’s a weird thing to bring up. I couldn’t even tell you when my parents gave me a lecture because I don’t remember any it’s been so long.

But your being defense about it, so I’ll infer from that, and leave it alone.

No, you’re reading between lines something that isn’t there, do I need to bring up memes that I have seen to prove to you that I’m not insane by making a joke like that?
To me, that was such an uncalled for question that I got slightly creeped out, that’s why I got defensive, like even if I were a kid, maybe I am by your point of view anyway, why would someone want to know after reading that? Did you need context to find it funny or something?

You’re right, I was being a dick. And it was uncalled for. I apologize.

It’s all good, I did get too up in arms as well, so yeah, I’ll share the fault

Dude its the internet. If you don’t like a question just don’t answer it.

Weirdly I feel like you turned his question in to a lecture here haha

Fair enough

Just what a warm soda would say

Drink crimes beyond my comprehension
