"this!"

What's this?

"just come here"

OK

"I'm trying to do ......"

That's not the way to do that, try this .....

"I don't want to do it that way, I want to do it this way"

But that won't work, you have to do it like this .......

"why"

Cause that's how it's done

"well I don't like that"

Well do you want it done?

"yes"

Then do it this way ....

"that's stupid"

No stupider than doing it the wrong way 100 times in a row and expecting it to magically work the 101st time.

"**** off"

Yes dear
