Varina insists that this neighbor is unworthy of belief.

What could speak more highly of him? Everyone knows if it's tall varina says it's short. If it's hot varina says it's cold. varina is consistant, she is going to argue against anything and everything that is obviously true.

You left out the other sophomoric behaviour - always having to have the last word.
