Wake Up And Smell The Coffee-Maker
(My brother, two cousins and I have just returned from a shopping excursion.)
Me: “So, mom, I’ve got bad news and good news. Bad news is, [cousin] bought the wrong coffee instead of the one that fits your coffee maker.”
Mother: “Why weren’t you paying attention? It’s always the same with you!”
(I stay dutifully quiet.)
Mother: “Well, and the good news?”
(I leaves, and come back with a huge box.)
Me: “The good news is [brother] and me took care of that.”
(We show her, her brand new coffee maker.)
Me: “Happy mother’s day!”
