It ' s called parity . Your shitty soccer teams wouldn ' t understand <| sep |> educated , semipolite , brief but biting . I might leave it over the weekend and come back to it . First , if it hasn ' t been said before , this is definitely the sort of thing I ' d slap down a few topofthehead ideas that are not quite there , but are enough to remind me what I want to say . I ' ll highlight them and come back during revision . There ' s a fairly decent chance the entire chapterscene will be cut or severely reworked , so there ' s little point spending more than a few moments trying to find the exquisitely perfect way of saying what I know I mean . So , press on during drafting . Highlight it , leave a note , whatever works . Come back to it after you know it ' s going to be in the final draft . That said . A short , sharp visit from the smack fairy ? A biting remark ? You ' re getting warmer there . Interesting that it ' s a parent speaking of the overreaction of other parents . I imagine parents are always judging their counterparts . What other sorts of behaviours to those type of parents do that ' s overkill ?
