Mom
I have to say, that I love my mom. She has a great big heart and does the little things that make you smile. But sometimes she is the biggest most annoying, most intrusive individual you'd ever meet. How my father has put up with for 41 years, I'll never know.

Anyway, my mom has a habit of wanting to get something for nothing. Even if its a promotional give away, she feels the need to get more than the alloted share. She tries to enlist me and my sister to do this, and at this point, I decline. I've said to her, if you want to get an extra for me or my sister - thats fine, but dont get one for someone else who isnt going to return the favor to you. Still doesn't stop her.

The best is when she went out once to go shopping for milk and a loaf of bread. Did she come back with them - yes - AND

A new couch and a love seat.

Seems that there was someone selling furniture out of the back of a truck, and the price was great, plus it matched the wall paper. They were blue in color.

After my dad and I got them into the house, we asked my mom why?

"The price was so good, it was like he was giving them away"

Sometimes, you just sit in amazement and have to laugh
