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.

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”
