Someone does something to irritate Artemis

Artemis: Ugh! I wanna stab you so bad! But you're all the way over there!

Artemis: Oh! I know!

(Quickly makes a bow and arrow)

Luke: [age 15] "Check out that green car. That's pretty cool."

Mom: "That is pretty cool. It actually reminds me of one of those buzz-buzz-buzz cars from the amusement park. You know, the kiddie ride with all the cars that just go in a circle? And you've got a steering wheel that doesn't do anything so you just keep hitting the horn button and it makes a buzzing noise?"

Me: "Stuck going in circles with steering that doesn't do anything and all you can do is buzz? Sounds like adulthood."

Mom: "You know what I mean about that ride."

Me: "Yeah, it's like a merry-go-round for little kids, but it's just different styles of cars in a circle, and you can hear the buzz-buzz-buzz everywhere in the park."

Mom: "Parents put little kids on that ride because you have to put little kids on every ride they're big enough for. I always seemed to get the green car for some reason."

Luke: "And it goes buzz-buzz-buzz because the kids just keep hitting the button."

Mom: "Right. And when we were kids, you didn't have all these ride-on electronic toys that made noise. You had to go to the amusement park and ride the buzz-buzz-buzz cars."

Me: "When we were kids, we had to make the buzz-buzz-buzz noises at home all by ourselves! You have no idea how easy you had it, just pressing a button to annoy your parents."

Mom: "That's right! We had to be annoying all on our own!"

Me: "Dang, things were tough back then."

Me: *hears it and is about to sing along*
