The only time I can recall my father's being speechless during one of our conversations about my behavior was when he found me crawling up the stairs at 2:20 on a Sunday morning. He accused me of immoderate behavior, to which I replied, (speaking very carefully in order to be coherent) "I am more moderate than you, for I practice even moderation moderately."
I'm still not sure whether he was more impressed by that reasoning or by my speaking coherently when I could not stand, but He let me sleep in until nearly 1:00 PM.
