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.
