Talking to my mom.
My mom and I are talking about earrings.
Me: I have this really pretty pair of earrings I got in Turkey, I got them at the same time I got those earrings you always think are from Greece*, but they're so HEAVY.
I take a few minutes to rummage through some stuff to find them.
Mom: Oh, those are so pretty!
Me: Yeah, but they're really heavy. Oh hey, would you like them?
Mom: What, you don't want to keep them?
Me: Well, they irritate me because they're really heavy. I didn't realize how heavy they were when I bought them.
Mom, sighing sadly: I gave you those earrings for your birthday.
Me: What earrings?
Mom: Those earrings!
Me: I BOUGHT THEM FOR MYSELF IN TURKEY.
Mom: Oh! They look just like those earrings I bought you for your birthday a few years ago!
Me: You think I'm going to give you back the earrings you gave to me? I'm not that tacky. Also, are you even awake during this conversation?
*I have never actually been to Greece. And yet every time my mom wears these earrings, she points them out as "those earrings you got me in Greece!" And then I remind her that I got them in Turkey. EVERY TIME.
