Overheard during macaroni and cheese lunch:
C: “You’re irritating.”
D: “You’re irritating-er!”
C: “That’s not a word.”
D: “Fine. Then you’re more irritating.”
C: “You’re infinity worser.”
D: “You’re infinity worser than anything you say.”
C: “No, you are!”
D: “Fine then. You’re infinity and two worse.”
C: “Then, you’re two infinity and two worse.”
D: “Then you’re three infinity and four worse.”
C: “Can I have a calculator?”

I remember those arguments …. with my siblings. My mom would make the “face” and shut us all up in fear and quaking.
My husband had only one sibling. The final insult of all insults would be to say “you’re just a butt-butt.”
