I want to laugh but when it&#8217;s a mean comment, I tell him how he&#8217;s hurting my feelings. But really, it&#8217;s hilarious.<\/p>\n<p>He also does the smug move. The one where he makes a comment then closes his eyes when he&#8217;s being smug. (Ala <em>South Park<\/em> &#8211; and I can also guarantee he doesn&#8217;t watch <em>South Park<\/em>.
