After enduring a fourth interjection in as many sentences from her 13-year-old nephew Kyle, local woman Michelle Stewart had had enough.

“Y’know, he’s always been on the quiet side so it’s good to see him grow up and come out of his shell a bit. But Jesus Christ he’s an annoying little prick now,” shared Michelle.

Reports say that the situation came to a head after she made the fatal mistake of referring to the monster in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein as ‘Frankenstein’. Kyle wasn’t going to let that slide, swiftly putting her in her place with an “um, actually, Frankenstein was the name of the scientist. You’re talking about Frankenstein’s monster.”

In the circumstances, her self-restraint was commendable.

“Slapping him was option one, would’ve had the desired effect, but I figured that was off the table. He’s probably still a couple years too young for me to just outright call him a dickhead, I’ll save that in case he’s still doing this shit when he’s 15. So I thought, what’s a group of people that are all arrogant nerds lacking in social skills? And obviously, I immediately thought of debaters.”

In the end, she settled on a pained, “Hahah, I guess you’re right champ. Hey, has anyone ever told you that you’d make a great debater?”

While the adults in the room read her loud and clear, it seems her backhanded ‘compliment’ only emboldened Kyle, who at the time of publication was heard insisting that his grandmother include tomatoes in the fruit salad, as they are technically a fruit.
