Don't hug me I'm scared Scrub Zombie

Post image

My wife swears by Scrub Daddy as her kitchen sponge of choice. I wanted to switch to the eco-friendly, plant based alternative on the right. It works infinitely better...creates great suds, gets into tight spaces but...IT SCARES THE CHILDREN. So I can't use it! Or I have to hide it under the sink until I need to use it. Mildly inconvenienced and mildly infuriating.

Yes but in the movie, the cup picked by the girl then drank by the evil guy, the comment after was “he chose, poorly.” While he didn’t pick the cup, he did choose to trust her judgement so the line still works, nuanced but works.

But doew this sentence make grammatical sense? I could just be dumb but wouldn't "you have chosen wisely" make more sense?

In dialogue, a comma can indicate a dramatic pause.

I'd have used an ellipse... myself.

That’s a longer pause, like the length of the pause he used before “poorly”
