kaitouWell, I'm home visiting my parents, and we've finally exchanged presents for Christmas (since I spent Christmas on my way to Lunar and Twig's place). Things went pretty well. I was worried that Mom was going to kill me since she had to wait so long for her Christmas present.
See, she told us she wanted some stamping gear from 'Stampin' Up!' and gave us the e-mail of her dealer as a go-through (and yeah, it's pretty much like a drug dealer). Neither Dad or I really wanted to do that, so I ended up buying these pearlescent embellishing powders. I got a big set of metallic colors, and a small set of bright jewel tones from a different company. Then her dealer e-mailed me to let me know my time to order stamps and such was running out. I told her that I had it covered, and that I bought her the powders. She told me that Mom would love them.
The next day I got a phone call from Mom demanding to know whether her dealer did, in fact, know what she was getting for Christmas. There was a lot of taunting involved. "I know what you're gettin! Nyah Nyah nyah"
Then after Christmas Mom goes and uses her gift card and gets herself embellishing powders! Her dealer e-mailed me, "You're in Trouble Now!" So I called Mom and told her not to buy anything else. She instead went out and bought ANOTHER set of powders, a small set so she could make me feel better by saying, "Oh no, this is what I got for me."
So this morning she opened her presents and started to laugh and laugh. See, there are two sets of the big powders, and two sets of the small colors. Like I said, I bought the big metallic, and the small jewel tones. Mom got the Big Jewel colors and the small metallic.
This isn't as good as Twig & Luny's Red vs. Blue story, but I still thought it was pretty funny.
