Offensive

I become so angry when someone tells me I can't do something.  The other day, to make a point about the challenges I've overcome, my dad said, "Just a month ago you couldn't put on your socks."  I then said, "I could.  I just didn't feel like it."  Most of my recovery comes from the fact I believe I can do anything humanly possible.  My dad then said he used the word "couldn't" for the sake of expediency.
