Then acting like an angry jerk about it, as if it was someone's fault other than his. My mom, unable to explain what happened responding to my detailed questions of "what was that?" (I was just 2 yrs old at the time and my detailed questions were in baby talk) over and over repeating the word "shock". And then when I further questioned in detail (in baby talk): "What the heck is a shock?" My idiot mother kept saying (apparantly also in baby talk): "Shock... Shock...". That's pretty much when I gave up on ever getting anything explained properly. -edit- fixed a sentence with a structure mistake.
