Calling It As I See It

“What did you call my son on the phone today!”

“I labelled him a petty thief.”

“No one calls my son a thief!”

“Actually, I labelled him a petty thief. Would you prefer aspiring criminal, or the more accurately descriptive incompetent law breaker?”

“Watch what you say!”

“I’d rather watch my stuff when your son is around if you wouldn’t mind.”
