When this happens a couple times you start sounding like Honey from the Incredibles.

It’s difficult not to sound combative when they say they want a convertible but you have to wheedle out of them that they want to take a proverbial road trip through monsoon season. No, you get a Land Rover with a snorkel or you wait, pal.
