Not So Sweet Sister

(I have just been out Christmas shopping, and now have a large pile of presents stacked up in my room. My mum enters, and studies the pile. She picks up the top present, which is a box of expensive sweets.)

Mum: “Who’re these for?”

Me: “Uncle [Name].”

(This particular uncle is her biological brother.)

Mum: *completely seriously* “He doesn’t deserve them. Can’t you give them to me instead?”

Me: “I guess sibling rivalry is one of those things you just don’t grow out of.”
