Oh yes, go out in the middle of the night during October as a platypus. What could possibly go wrong?

[skepticalities]

I'm staying in the hotel, which was the whole point of everything we did.

[onlyoneof]

[lies back down]

Do whatever you want.

[skepticalities]

I will. Since I don't need sheltering.

[GETTIN' THAT DOOR OPEN.]

[onlyoneof]

That's very mature of you.

[skepticalities]

. . . you really have no place to talk about maturity right now.

[trottin' out.]

[onlyoneof]

[stands up and walks over to the door]

Seriously? You start ignoring me, throw a tantrum, lock yourself in the bathroom and storm off, and I'm being immature?

[skepticalities]

I can't even work locks like this.

[onlyoneof]

Not the point.

[skepticalities]

Look. You immediately limited the list. I felt we were on the same page. When you expanded it and I shot down a film that I didn't feel he was ready for, you attacked me for it. You insulted my choices as a parent and you insulted me.

. . . he's a smart kid. I'm not sheltering him by not letting him watch a movie. If he wants to see it, he'll find a way around it, but I don't want him watching it through me for the reasons I mentioned. You might not like it, but I'd like for you to at least respect it. So yeah. I stopped talking. I didn't want to get into an argument with you in public and then I went to cool off. And by then, you were ignoring me like a sullen teenager.
