After I finally got her attention by threatening to cut off her oxygen supply for a week (i.e., take her computer offline), my stepdaughter and I got on amazingly well, and she actually started to take care of her sick mother, too.
I even made her favourite Thai dish. She was spooning it into her bowl, muttering: "I love cilantro! I love green onions!"
She's a carnivore, and has never been particularly famous for liking vegetables.
Me: "Eh, cilantro and green onions are... well, they're GREEN."
She, instantly: "Yeah, but they don't mean it..."
