They never see things the way you do. In this case it was a clearly printed t-shirt with the words right there. And she still dint see it.
I bought a really cool green shirt and it was a size too big. All I asked of mom was to exchange it for a smaller size and make sure the color was the same – pista green. I open out the t-shirt and it says – “Don’t F**K with Me”………I’m like mom what have you done? She has no clue what I’m referring to even as I hold it towards her and hope she reads it. All she says is – You wanted Green, I got you Green!
I actually had to read it out to her aloud. Something I would have never imagined I would have to do. I went back and forth about exchanging again or keeping it. I’m keeping it. Only because my mom got it for me :-)
