Kid: (about 8 years old, shifting his weight around in a bored kind of way, and half-moaning, half-whining) Ughhhh. Can't we just go to Harvest Land (grocery store) and get fruit there?
Mom: (in the most irked, matter-of-fact, deadpan, sarcastic, way possible)
No. We can't. (now jerking the berries off their stems rather violently and glaring at him) And I'll tell you why. It's. Because. We. Like. This. Better.
You. Are. Amazing.
