peanuts- yes, you got it exactly right, it's the delivery!
the thing that irritates me most about this is that it's not supposed to be for punishment--it's that my dad thinks theres something going on in my life or my mind that is showing itself in the form of-*gasp*-getting irritated when im suddenly asked to drop everything to do chores that dont need to be done at that moment! oh the horror! i must be unbalanced and need more therapy!
