How much is sarcasm tolerated in your house and by you in general?
There is another forum I post on and in this thread, there were discussing things like sarcasm and one person said when she asks her son what he's going to do when he goes out he sometimes replies with "oh the usual, out to rape and pillage" she says she obviously knows her son is just going to go out with friends and hang out.
Another person said if that ever happened their child would be in trouble so fast it wouldn't be funny.
I got to thinking about this especially after last night.
My mom used to accuse me of the most asinine things ever. when I was 13 and my brother 8, we used to use way too much toilet paper, yet my mom accused me of selling it for drug money. (She wasn't kidding.). When I was 18, she accused me of flushing a used condom down the toilet at the house simply because it clogged. (Funny part is, I didn't have sex till I was like 20.)
When I was still a junior or senior in high school, 17/18, I came up with a response to her wild flaming accusations and conspiracies.
When she'd say stuff like the above mentioned, I would respond with an equally crazy story about a gangbang with several large black men. (I'm not racist, it was just more outlandish and got under her skin.)
And just last night I used it again, when she accused me and DB of being drug dealers, we're always broke, drug dealers are usually pretty loaded even if they use too. DB said to me last night, after the fact, "If we were drug dealers, then why would we be broke all the time?"
The following are true excerpts from conversations:
Me: **** is picking me up, we're going to sit in the hot tub at her apartment.
Mom: You're going to have sex with boys aren't you?
Me: Oh yeah mom, I'm going to go have a gangbang with some large black men with prison names.
The condom flushing accusation evoked a response of "oh yeah from the big black gangbang I had the other night, there's 7 condoms stuck in the toilet."
Anyways last night she calls me and told me she had some food for me and DB and wanted to know where I was and when I was going to pick it up, I was at work with DB, he picked me up from work and had to go back in and we didn't end up leaving till 9pm.
Well, she accused us of being drug dealers, I don't know how she arrived at that accusation but she did, I guess because he typically works late all the time or something, who knows.
All this is of course sarcasm and in my opinion well deserved sarcasm.
How well does sarcasm go over in your house?
