I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
And you're trying to say you're frustrated the redemption won't work but she cuts you off.
Me: "I'm annoyed with Dr. Strange-"
Mom: "Well, you can change doctors."
*is amused that she thinks the Sorcerer Supreme is my doctor. also a little baffled so long pause*
Me: "He's a Marvel character."
Another long pause as my mom realizes the problem I have is really not the one she thought I had.
