Type this delightful mother/daughter convo:

[dbmmama]

HA I feel the same way about my mom. I *often* (well, used to, I don't really do this anymore) point out other perspectives whether or not I agree. Come to think of this, I do this with my husband too on occasion. I wonder if it's an irrational vs. rational thing.

but if someone talked to me that way, i'd react the same as you and jem. LOL!!!

im very competitive, with physical things, but not in relationships.

Of course it was not a competition but I agree more with daughter than with mother. Therefore I vote for her.

I'm afraid that phrase has a different meaning in English.
