my mom likes to give me clothes on my birthday... almost always, they are too small... : }
year after year, i tell her i'm not a Medium and year after year she tells me Large is too big and that Medium seems just right. year after year i fit her Medium and year after year i end up going to the store to have her gift exchanged for sometimes not just a Large but even an XL (yup, i may not look it but clothes-wise i'm an L, XL hereabouts).
this year she overdid herself, wahaha. she gave me a Small!
me: 'mom, i won't even fit in Medium and you're giving me a Small?'
mom: 'you're smaller now... that would fit... try it...'
ta-daannn! it was tight... : }
instead of making me bring them back to the store, she took it back and said she'll just give me something else.
me: 'thanks, mom, but don't bother... it's the thought that counts... it's enough that i know you thought of giving me a gift... i don't really have to have the gift...'
i thought that was agreed.
well, last week she gave me a belated / replacement gift! two pairs of shorts this time. guess what, they would not even get past my, uhm, butt... : }
so again i was at the store checking out a bigger size for exchange. the saleslady was giving me the next bigger size and the next bigger size and the next bigger size. finally something seemed a close fit, not quite yet but almost.
me: 'there! this is close... what size is this?'
saleslady: '6, ma'am...'
me: 'oh... what size is the one i'm returning?'
saleslady: '1, ma'am...'
me: '1?! my mom saw me as a 1 and here i am even bigger than a 6?!'
saleslady: 'maybe she sees you as still a baby, ma'am...'
oh! hehe...
anyway, i wanted something a little loose and the next size was out of stock so i had to get some other replacement.
today, i was telling my mom i was able to get four items for the two pairs of shorts she gave me. yes, four for two! a pair of shorts, two tank tops and a long sleeved shirt.
she looks at me funny.
nyahaha... i am cheap... ;"p
