[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you need is a witty retort.  I remember one episode of Malcolm in the Middle where he said "I wish you were dead" to his mother.  Her reply was "Well, I'm taking you with me."

A witty retort is worth its weight in gold, but for the life of me I can't think of one right now.

Anyone?[/quote]

There were five of us, and if any of my brothers said I hate you (I would NEVER have had the guts to say it), my mother said "Well take a number mister, because it's not the first time I've heard that!" There was never a punishment for the words, usually just the deeds that caused the argument. My brothers are all fine, well-adjusted men who would cringe to think they ever said those words to my mother now![/quote]

She would also say, "Well I'm not real thrilled with you right now either!" That one made me laugh![/quote]

I say that.  Or something along the lines of "you're not currently that high on my list, either".[/quote]
