Damn. I can't find my earplugs.

Substitute something else for them?

I can buy new ones. It's merely annoying to have misplaced them.

Yeah. You learn to keep better track of things.

The housekeeper may have thrown them out. If so, it will come out of her paycheck.

Blame others for your problems often?

The only logical explanation for their absence is that she threw them out.

How long have you had that housekeeper?

A few months. Father doesn't like to keep the same one for too long.

You should put them where she can't get them next time, and warn the next housekeeper about your earplugs.

I intend to. Fortunately, they are not expensive.

Yeah. Have fun with that.

What enjoyment is there to be taken from that purchase?

None.

Do you often make pointless remarks?

Pointless to you, yes.

The statement "have fun with that" when applied to something that there is no pleasure in doing is pointless.

I meant with talking to your housekeeper and taking the money out of her paycheck.

That is simple business, another thing that would provide no pleasure.

Some people enjoy simple business affairs. I don't know you well enough to know what you enjoy.

Then you would do well not to assume.

Lesson learned.
