When I yell at my kids I have an awkward habit of enunciating everything, like an ax murderer: I have askeD you to TurN off that ComPuTer for the LasT TiMe. Not only that, but I have a running commentator in the back of my head: Who is this person? You sound psychotic. He could give a crap what you say. Or Wow, that sounded like a grown-up. One sentence flows to the next. Can’t argue with that. There have been times when I have dropped character and started laughing. I sound so unconvincing I have to stop.
Patton would be disgusted.
