My mom likes to shop. A lot. She asked me if I wanted to go to WalMart with her today, and of course I accepted. We were getting ready to leave when my mom walks in her room and sighs. She looks at her bed and then back at me, "I need new pillow cacses." she states.
I look at her, "Why?" I asked.
"Because, they don't match my covers." she whines.
I laugh, "Mom, why don't you use your old covers that you got during summer? I don't even see why you bought that red one." I say while sitting on her bed. "It's not even as soft as the blue one." I say.
She looks away from me, "But.."
I start to laugh again, "Mom, you have a problem. You don't even need half of this crap!"
Se starts laughing too, "Ugh! Melang! Yes I do!" she tries to sway me, but I stand firm.
"No, Mom."
She gives up and we leave for WalMart, but once we get there she is talking about her pillow cases again.
She cleverly directs the cart to where they keep these things, and starts to examine them. "They are soo soft!" she says finally.
I look over at her and see her putting the pillow case packages in the cart, "Mom! No!" I run back to her. "You don't need this!" I state.
"Mellanng, yes I do!" she is pleading.
I start to pull the cart away from her, and she cries out for me to stop. I'm chanting 'no way' under my breath. I'm sure people are stopping and staring to see this show down between us, but I don't care. If I didn't stop her now she would more than likely buy a whole new bed!
Finally I give in and let her put the pillow cases in the cart, but I know that by the end of this little trip she will have returned them.
Guess what...
I was right. (:
