I hope this fits here, but I was reminded of how much of a smart ass I was as a kid just to piss off my mom. (Long story short, she’s a classic textbook narcissist and any victory I could take, I grabbed)

We were at one of my mom’s friend’s house and they had egg nog. Oh dear lord did I love egg nog. Still do. I get all giddy and celebrate every year when it hits the shelves. So I asked for some. Mom says, “only 1/4 cup”. Literally measured it out and everything.

I happily drank my 1/4 cup, but I wanted more. So I went back into the kitchen, poured another 1/4 cup, drank that, poured another 1/4 cup, and was just about to enjoy when they finally saw what I was doing.

“I told you only a 1/4 cup!”

Smug pre-teen me, “yeah but you didn’t say how MANY 1/4 cups I could have.” As I sipped on my final 1/4 cup.

FWIW: Yeah I know was a shit head and looking back it was very rude of me to drink so much of someone else’s egg nog.
