My dad: How did you happen to know < the contact info for a local business > ?
Meg: Google. Isn’t that the way we know everything?
My dad: Socrates would hate hearing that.

Did he? Did he really say that? Why can’t I be a part of a family that says things like that?

My dad would like you to know that he actually said Aristotle and not Socrates.

The Socratic method is the shortest possible path between intelligent discourse and a pissed off boy/girlfriend.
Short of, maybe, answering every inquiry with “eff you, that’s why.”

@ Thanatos Haha! Poor girlfriend!
I thought endless questioning is the special domain of little kids, but “Eff off, that’s why” is an even worse answer to little parrots.

On second thought… should have I said “poor girlfriend” or “poor you”?!?!
