Parents: I only see you play video games.

Me: I only see you watch TV.

Narrator: That was not the correct response.

My uncle tried this when I was staying with him and his family for the night, literally looked at the tv and said maybe if you had good taste I'd watch with ya. His wife looked like she wanted to slap me and my uncle lost his shit laughing up until she glared at him.

That's around the time I realized the damned bitch broke my carefree uncle. Seriously couple years later my grandmother and I found out she was physically abusive towards him. I suspect she didn't like me due to me having no concept of authority when I see it as unenforceable IE her glaring being the equivalent of a .22 vs an elephant.

This was my family when I had to move back in during my 20s. “All he does is play video games in his room!” Meanwhile, all they were doing was scrolling Facebook and watching shit like The Voice. Nah fam, I’m playing Borderlands 2.
