I had a talk with her later about that "bad ref" comment.

Your daughter employed an excellent rhetorical strategy: since she conceded that he might be right, she gave him a reason for shutting up with which he couldn't argue.

Very clever. I wonder where she got it.

Sorry, this happened before Juulie was born.
