Elly: John, this is the 4th towel you've used in two days.... and the sink is full of whiskers! I know these are habits you have developed over the years.. But surely you can change! John: Why, darling... And let your talent for nagging go to waste?

You get worked up over very mild “colorful metaphors” and you’re utterly obsessed with tracking everything I say on this comic strip’s pages.

Atypical Cat lady. No husband. No children. Hates parents and people in general. Needs to take her own advice.

And this is because Faith put a like on my comment, not for anything Faith said. She spits bile on everyone.
