Kevin Smith is a good guy.

Kevin Smith has tons of class. Well, maybe not tons, but he does have some class. This is an old story, but I just remembered it the other day.

Kevin once dated a girl who's mother was very overly protective. The mother decided that Smith was going nowhere and wrote him a letter that said, "Kevin Smith will never be a famous writer because he lacks drive. But I wish him well anyway. If I'm wrong, find me and I'll eat this." The classy part comes when he got famous but he never took it back and threw it in her face.

If that were me, she'd constantly get reminders of how wrong she was. I'd send her pieces of the letter with a copy of a the latest movie and an update on my bank account. I'd probably attach photos of nice houses and say, this is probably where you'd be living if you hadn't been such a meddling bag and got in the way of my relationship with your daughter (even though the relationship would've ended anyway, it's good to lay the blame on the mother).

I guess some people are just better at letting things go than me.
