To Be Titled

Striving to be a good dad, a good husband, a good son/brother, a good political scientist, a good photographer, a good cook and a good homo universalis.

“That’s lovely!”

That has recently become one of my most oft-used phrase during meal times. The proper intonation for usage has to be dripping with sarcasm, as in, “that’s lovvvvelyyyy!” Some examples:

  • Oh, are you stroking your hair with your blueberry oatmeal covered fingers? That’s lovely.
  • Oh, you’re squishing grains of rice on to your forearm. That’s lovely.
  • Are you flapping your arms when your hands are covered in fruit? That’s lovely.
  • etc.
You get the idea. Isn’t it lovely?
