Say, for the sake of argument, you're a radio DJ. Your kids are grown, but your co-host has two children, both of school age--maybe 14 and 12, something like that. Your co-host calls his kids every day, and occasionally, you put them on the air for a minute or two, because they're capable of being cute.
Today, however, when you decide that it's time for another cute segment...the girl is whining and sobbing about how she can't wear the shirt she wants to wear, because her mother has gone to work, and her brother can't tie it properly, and oh my god, the world as we know it is going to END because she can't wear her shirt! She proceeds to whine and cry, as only a teenaged girl can--you know, with the high-pitched voice that's like an eardrum-bursting drill, while also pulling the 'oh my god, you are SO STUPID' accent (with '-uh!' tacked onto the end of words: Daaaaaad-UH! You don't understaaaaaand-uh!).
Why oh why would you keep this whiny little brat on the air AT ALL, much less for FIFTEEN MINUTES? Are you trying to piss people off or what?
Arg.
Update: OH MY GOD! Why would you put her *back* on the fucking radio AGAIN in the next break? Time to find a new radio station. I like Greg Kihn and all, but I am not interested in listening to Chris Jackson's sprogs whine on the air.
