    This is exactly how I speak to my dad when he wants to play a game of pool. I tell him that I’ll play only if he doesn’t throw temper tantrums, he tells me that he’ll do his best and I always regret my decision. I haven’t played pool with him in years. The only way to win is to not play.

        Sure, when he’s dead.

        People that old don’t change unless they’re willing. And someone who throws temper tantrums at billiards is not at all willing.
