->''Although the girl learned to keep an amiable front no matter what she was feeling, her resentment could not be held in forever. Pressed down from the top, it squeezed out the sides, willy-nilly. As she grew older, Tove developed a way of making prickly little remarks in a guileless manner:''
->''"Were you ever pretty when you were young, Mother?"''
->''"Why don't you tie your coif a little farther forward, Mother? It will hide how thin your hair is getting in front."''
->''Sigrun, nettled, peered suspiciously into her daughter's face, searching for insolence or malice. But the girl had spoken so sweetly, and was looking straight at her with the most angelic blue gaze. Sigrun could not believe soft little Tove meant her words to sting.''

'''Irving Rosenfeld:''' ''(narrating )'' She was the Picasso of passive-aggressive karate. She was better than any con artist I'd ever met including myself. And she had me like nobody had me.

->'''Hades:''' Indulge me for a moment, boy. Why bother to construct a sundial there, knowing full well it was my wish to have one installed? To demonstrate your awe-inspiring authority? Or to deny me the small pleasure of doing it myself?
->'''Zagreus:''' Maybe a little of each? Or maybe you ought not second-guess my every motive and decision, constantly searching for some sinister agenda that has yet to cross my mind?

->''"During a clip from an upcoming [[Series/TheOprahWinfreyShow Oprah’s]] ''Where Are They Now'', [[Series/ThatsSoRaven Raven-Symoné]] – who sort of looks like if my sister’s favorite My Pretty Mermaids doll grew up and became a high-powered attorney (aka hot) – proved that she IS the [[Series/TheCosbyShow Olivia Boss Chick]] meme by taking a very subtle ''That’s So Cunty'' swipe at a certain [[Creator/LindsayLohan attention-seeking former child star life mess]] while explaining to Oprah how she avoided becoming one. Raven-Symoné doesn’t name names, which would normally set me right off, because Rule No.1 of shade-throwing is that a true No-Fucks-Given Queen calls a bitch out by name. But Raven doesn’t have to come right out and say who it is, firstly because she’s Raven-Symoné and bitch writes the rules, but secondly because we all know the former child star fuck-up she’s hissing so much realness at...Damn, is “Raven-Symoné” French for giant cloud? Cause that bitch provided enough shade to slow global warming."''

->In civilised life domestic hatred usually expresses itself by saying things which would appear quite harmless on paper (the words are not offensive) but in such a voice, or at such a moment, that they are not far short of a blow in the face. To keep this game up you and Glubose must see to it that each of these two fools has a sort of DoubleStandard. Your patient must demand that all his own utterances are to be taken at their face value and judged simply on the actual words, while at the same time judging all his mother's utterances with the fullest and [[TwistingTheWords most oversensitive interpretation of the tone and the context and the suspected intention]]. She must be encouraged to do the same to him. Hence from every quarrel they can both go away [[MoralMyopia convinced, or very nearly convinced, that they are quite innocent]]. You know the kind of thing: “I simply ask her what time dinner will be and she flies into a temper.” Once this habit is well established you have the delightful situation of a human saying things with the express purpose of offending and yet having a grievance when offence is taken.
