Spoken Argument

So, the spoken argument that I found was an actual argument between my dad and myself. He kept asking me questions about what I wanted to do with some flowers that my mom got for me, and I didn't want to deal with it so I just kept telling him that I didn't know what to do. (I actually didn't, because usually my mom just deals with everything herself, but she was gone at the time so I was in charge of the indoor gardening.) Then my dad decided to overreact a little bit, telling me that every bad thing I do is just accumulating, and when I'm in college and I need something, he's not going to give it to me. So that's the context, now for the analysis.

My dad was standing up, and I was sitting down at my computer, so that gave him a feeling of authority over me. His tone of voice was loud and penetrating, in order to get through to me and to make me feel scared about the future consequences of my actions. He kept repeating the word "accumulate" in order to draw emphasis to the fact that I'm (apparently) rude a lot of the time and that it's not just going to be forgotten each time. His argument, though, was made less effective because he sometimes didn't know what to say to back up his claims. This made me kind of laugh a little bit (but secretly, of course) because I don't get as scared of him as I did when I was a little girl. He didn't have anything specific to threaten me with, but warned me all the same about how the accumulation of my actions will return to haunt me.

Overall, it wasn't a very successful argument. I personally didn't feel too much in response. Maybe that's just because it tends to happen every day. I also just disagree with him - I don't think I was being rude at all. But that's always a matter of opinion, so neither my dad or myself would be really qualified to decide the truth.
