Side note, does it count as a shower thought when it was conceived while sitting on the toilet? Do we have toilet-sitting-thoughts communities?

It's generally directed at the person doing the questioning so I think it's more: "STFU you little twerp, how dare you attack me and my fairy stories"

The last time my in-laws said that to me I asked them what their gods plan was when he gave their daughter leukemia.

"to test us"

"Well I'm glad you're comfortable devoting your lives to someone who gives a 2 year old cancer, that's beyond my capabilities."

Juuuuust enough to sound like it could be a compliment but with a clear backhand because honestly.... Wtf is that logic.
