*sigh* My mom still occasionally stays REALLY ignorant/stupid/upsetting things without understanding WHY they're ignorant/stupid/upsetting. One such moment occurred last night. Don't want to go into details, but I need to either figure out how to win an argument with someone who intimidates the hell out of me (that being Mom) or perfect my Death Glare to the point where she doesn't. Intimidate the hell out of me, that is.
There's always the face saving, "I must have misunderstood you, it sounded like you said..." tactic. Or it's variant the, "You know someone overhearing that might think you meant... which you couldn't possibly have meant."
That's assuming you want to leave a way out for the person you're talking to.
