"Oh yea? Ok."

Short pause while that sinks in...
"Why is that?"
"Because..." (full explanation).

Another short pause while I ponder the thought... This means that my child went to their mother's house, explained how we wash dishes here, then was given an explanation as to how it's wrong, therefore I am stupid.

"I'm not going to let that one go. There is a reason I do dishes that way..."
(Full explanation that is valid because of science and reason.)]]></description>
