wow, that is a much more politically correct way to express the same point my son expressed to me the other day: "Dad, you're the smartest guy I know. you've been thru almost everything, and learned all the lessons...
That means your smart enough to understand that I won't actually care what you think, until I prove some shit to myself."
I am happy to say, a rush to the hospital didn't closely follow that statement. Those could have been some good 'famous last words'
