Sassy

Your book says 'Honor Thy Mother and Father' and you tell me I must follow this. But I must dispute back and insist you cannot honor those who aren't honorable. And you watch me as I take an approach towards your book that's not too classy. And you glare at me menacingly and tell me that my attitude is much too sassy. You tell me the moral of the tale is this, I say the moral of the tale is that. And yet you are indignant towards me, and call me a brat. And then you hold a stigmatic belief towards a topic, and I counter it perfectly. You laugh me off patronizingly, and you insist I am wrong doubtlessly. You think because you've got some years on me I am empty of knowledge. And as you shutter out my heartfelt opinions you leave me lethargic. And as you watch me enjoy my music you scream it is trashy. And as I defend my enjoyment you write me off as sassy.
