Or the parent who allows the girls 7&11 to consider belly button rings vs. the parent who makes the girls wear one piece swim suits?) Judge: Alright let's take a break for lunch. Me: Thank God.

Me: Not sure, did you take an anger management class or something? You seem like a nice guy.

Ex’ lawyer: Don’t be funny Mr. Kevin, I was referring to you.

Me: Your kidding, this is a joke right? That woman has never been abused since I’ve known her.

Ex’s lawyer: I see so no regrets for your very inappropriate behavior.

Me: You’re kidding right?
