Mine tried ONE time to tell me, "I don't remember telling you that you could do that..."
I simply replied with a glare and, "I don't remember asking! When did I start calling you "Daddy"? "
Nuff was said...like KWhite...he will try negotiation, but he's aware that I'm an adult, I make money too, and I'm not going to be "ruled" by him or anyone else.
As for Karma...I believe in it to a point...I don't believe that it applies to joking around when no real harmful intent is involved.
