Me: What souvenir do you want from Europe?
Mom: Paul McCartney.
Me: *laugh* Something a bit more doable?
Mom: I don't know. Not a key chain.
Me: Why don't I get you a rosary in France?
Mom: *SCOFF*
Me: What!? I like rosaries they're pretty! And getting something Catholic can't be much more French.
Mom: I don't want a rosary.
Me: You didn't want a rock from Canada either and you liked the rock ...
Mom: *makes a face that says "Yes but ...."*
Me: I guess I could get you some tea from England or something. I wanted to get you something a little more lasting than that ...
Mom: I know! Why don't you get me a teacup for my collection.
Me: Would you like the teacup to be French or English?
Mom: Doesn't matter.
We established I can get English tea and a French teacup. No Earle Grey or "PARIS 2011" crap though.
Me: The hostel I'm looking at is pretty nice. If we all get put in the same room it's a two-bed, room. I can share a bed with Alex or Meghan ...
Mom: *nods*
Me: ... either is fine since I've slept with both of them. *JAZZ HANDS*
Mom: *SPLUTTERS*
