The following is a conversation I had with my mothe two nights ago. It was about 3:22AM. I was listening to Disturbed on my DVD Player/TV.
Keep in mind my room is right next to the bathroom and we have paper-thin walls in my house. But my mom's room is halfway across the house...
My mother opens the door and the conversation Goes as follows:
Mom: Turn that [stuff] down!
Me: Its not loud at all, I'm 4 feet from it and can barely hear it...
Mom: I don't care either turn that [music] down, or turn it off!!! It just woke me up!!!
Me: I doubt that. You got up to go to the bathroom, didn't you? You know good and well that you can hear ANYTHING in my room from the bathroom. But I guarantee if you close my door and take 3 steps away from it, you won't hear anything...
The conversation ended at this point when she slammed the door and stormed off. About 2 minutes later, my room went black and silent. The circuit breake is in her room and she had turned off my power.
The moral to this story:
Your parents may be wrong at times. But you are DEAD WRONG if you point it out to them :-)
