#38, the OP said that she screamed down the stairs. The vast majority of jokes do not involve screaming at anyone. I got the impression that the OP is a princess and thinks that her sleep is more important than anything else that could possibly be going on in the house. I totally do agree about having humor in your relationship with your parents and not living in fear of them. But I think this is more of a typical teenager thinking they are the center of the universe case. I do not think that she was joking, I think she just lacks a bit of respect for others in general.

#51 - You're stupid. The kid was FIVE. OBVIOUSLY he was not under the impression that he was the next Mozart. He's learning to read and can already play piano, he is showing promise. Your comment was so ignorant I don't even know what to say to you. Maybe if he was 15 and planning on applying to Juliard dedicating his life to it that would make sense. Maybe. Let people do what they love.

Shouldn't be that rude to your mom anyways. Or anyone for that matter. YDI.

I hate when people pretend kids have talent when they don't. Good for you, now the kid isn't living in a fantasy.

wow i feel bad for your cousin.

Ohnoitslindsay: Get over yourself. "Kids these days"? Please, you sound like a kid yourself with your hipster username. OP: Why didn't your family bother to invite you, anyway?

YDI. Even if it was your mom, you were still being an asshole.

I feel your pain. It could be the laughter of babies and puppies and an angel choir combined, if it woke me up I still yell shut up :P.

add "just kidding" at the end

i was expecting your mom to be getting ****** on the piano, but this works too
