Sarcasm is the most effective tool, unless you can get someone to answer a perfectly nice question in a way that makes them look stupid. And, I don’t know who came up with the idea that sarcasm is " the tool of the weak", but they never met my mother.
rshiveWhen I had my bookstore, I hoped to have an “… and daughter” name up, but she wasn’t interested and I certainly didn’t push. Just as well, local retail bookstores have gone the way of the passenger pigeon and thylacine.

Interesting conversation. Plus, I never thought of sarcasm as the tool of the weak. Something to think about.

Dad may still be a grouch. But I suspect that’s the dream of many a dad who runs his own business— to have one of his children run it after him.
