Well a donkey is also called an ass, and some people with weak stomachs have problems with their asses after burritos.

Seems about right.

And you don't need to listen when she says that.

Comeback: "Thanks for seeing me as an equal, mom"

[Worldmaster27]

...Since I don't know what you're mom has done, I'd say you've accomplished more than her.

Comeback: "Thanks for seeing me as an equal, mom"

Next time she, or anyone else, calls you a failure, do this.

If you're a failure, so is the human race.

... Of course, the human race kind of -is- a failure, but that's neither here nor there.

If we kill ourselves in the next century, I just want you to know, you were one of the best of us failures.

If we don't, I'll see you at Alpha Centauri <3

[Worldmaster27]

Vector, I know you know this, but you are definitely not a failure.
I look up to you.

I feel much the same way. You're one of the greatest people on the forums, Vector.

Hahah, thanks, but that wasn't the question I meant to ask.

I'm not a failure, ma...

Woo! I wonder what she'd call me. You are amongst the greatest minds of the 21st century. Seriously. I mean, I could legitimately compare you to Isaac Newton (but a much better person), and make a damn good case for why you belong mentioned in the same echelon.

Vector,

I can relate to your situation with your mother quite a bit. Mine has never supported me.

I passed the bar exam with flying colors on the first try (many people don't pass at all, much less first try). My mother's response upon hearing this wonderful news:

"That's great! Now you can finally get your head out of your ass...."

She still considers me a failure and she always will. It hurts and it always will. Hang in there; you are far from a failure.
