Firstly, the end of assessment for now!!!! Yay!!!!

Okay, because I’m going somewhere in the holidays, I thought it might be an idea to get extra underwear, so I got some from Target, right (yeah, I know; I’m a cheapskate)? Anyway, we got to the checkout. They informed us that they no longer provided plastic bags, so the woman asked if we wanted to buy a reusable bag or stick it in one of our fairly small bags. Mum says no to the reusable bag and we leave.

Me: “Mum, can I put this in your bag (which, for the record, was bigger), ‘cos it doesn’t really fit in mine.”

Mum: “It won’t fit in mine, either. No plastic bags! They make people walk around a shopping centre with their underwear in their hands.”

Yes, in case you missed, Mum decided that rather than buying a $1 bag, I would wander around the shops with my new underwear in my hand.

Me: “Wait, then why didn’t you let ME buy a bag??”

Mum: “No, because then we end up with a lot of reusable bags that we don’t want.”

“Me: You wouldn’t have said no if it were YOUR underwear.”

Mum: “I don’t think anyone’s going to care that you wear underwear. They should expect it.”

Remember, she was just complaining that they make people wander around with the underwear they buy.

Me: (after stuffing underwear into teensy bag as much as possible) It barely fits!!!

Mum: “Oh, who cares?”

Me: “I CARE! You wouldn’t have said no to a bag if it were YOUR underwear.”

Grr.
