David Foster Wallace Quotes

At Least Part Of The Reason I Am A SNOOT Is That For Years My Mom Brainwashed Us In All Sort Of Subtle Ways. Here's An Example. Family Suppers Often Involved A Game: If One Of Us Children Made A Usage Error, Mom Would Pretend To Have A Coughing Fit That Would Go On And On Until The Relevant Child Had Identified The Relevant Error And Corrected It. It Was All Very Self-ironic And Lighthearted; But Still, Looking Back, It Seems A Bit Excessive To Pretend That Your Small Child Is Actually Denying You Oxygen By Speaking Incorrectly.
