“If your mother saw you today, she’d roll over in her grave. She didn’t raise you to be a fanatic.”
“I’m not a fanatic. I’m an activist.”
“You’re a fanatic.”
“I’m a visionary.”
“You’re a fanatic, a zealot.”
“I’m an enthusiast.”
“You’re a fanatic.”
“Dad, I just joined a club.”
“Like those Manson kids just joined a club?”
“Not the same thing, Dad. You know that.”

I hope it wasn’t just grammar! I don’t want to think anyone feels that using good grammar is a cult 🙂

Let me guess . . . the KISS Army?! 🙂 But seriously, a great bit of story conveyed solely through dialogue, T.N. As others said, quite authentic of a parent-teen (or even young adult) interaction. Best wishes on the voting!
