What he said.
I'm reminded of the old joke about the kid who never speaks.
His folks get him checked out by every doctor in the land, but they can't find out what's wrong with him. They spend a fortune. They take him to shrinks, counsellors, herbalists, homeopaths, acupuncturists, whatever. Nothing will induce the boy to speak. In the end, they give up and decide to make the most of the situation.
Then on the boy's 12th birthday, they have a big party. They lay on loads of grub and have all their freinds and family over. They all sing happy birthday, Junior blows out the candles, and the cake is cut.
The mute boy takes a bite. "Hey!" he says. "This is lemon icing! What happened to the minty icing you normally put on my cake?"
His dad stands up. "S-son? What did you say?"
"I said, I want minty icing, not lemon!"
"You mean... all this time... you could talk? Why didn't you say anything?"
"Well, up till now, you've always given me minty icing!"
The moral of the story? I like the minty goodness of the current icing, but hey, screw the naysayers. Thier loss is my lemony gain.
