Memory: My father, annoyed as all hell and trying not to raise his voice to me (loud voices frightened me when I was a little kid and he's never shouted at me, ever) and yet amused, saying, "Erin, some people have a problem with alcohol. Some people have a problem with gambling. You have a problem with books, and I'm not lending you any more money for them!"
Also countless variations of "The library? We went there three days ago and you checked out a huge stack of books!" "But I read those already!!!!!" etc etc etc...
