Gratitude Is Above Her

Did they get rid of the "punting babies" level? That's a bit disappointing... Ah, well, numbers work too.

So, Mother's Day - perfect time to surprise Mom with a gift, right?
Except that my mother hates surprises - she wants to know what she's getting.

So I tell her "I have to go to Second Cup to get it."
"But I don't like Second Cup." (insert hand-on-hip)
"I'm not getting y-"
"I don't like Second Cup things." (other hand-on-hip)
"I'm not getting you coffee." (sentence finally finished, with a polite smile)
"I don't like anything from Second Cup."

Okay, this is where I'm struggling - I'm trying to keep the gift a surprise while explaining to her that I'm not getting her coffee. I spill the beans.

"I'm getting you a thermos - a special tea thermos with an infuser in it. It's not coffee - it's just that Second Cup's the only place that has it."

She pauses - you can see the wheels turning in her head.
"I don't like anything from Second Cup - what are you expecting. To go there and buy something you want."

It's not even a fucking question - she is telling her own daughter that she(me, the daughteR) has these twisted, dark under-the-table motives on Mother's Day.
All I wanted to do was buy her a nice tea-mug (since she's been very much into tea lately and complaining about not having a nice mug).

But no, it seems the thought of gratitude is above her.
I'm not a 80 Anger - I'm punting babies, dammit.

EDIT: Ah, they do have a statement for the Agrometer. Neat.

OH! And guess what now?!

She told me "you don't have to get me a present" - and you could hear the hatred in her voice.
Then, now - 30 minutes later - she just asked my dad in the whiniest voice ever "don't I get a present"?!

That boobs comment was uncalled for. We don't want to alienate our female members, son. Welcome to the bored, Cornered Brain. I also ended up arguing with my mother on mother's day, except it wasn't about a present because I only got her flowers, which she likes. We ended up arguing about some TV documentay about Dubai. Not really sure how that happpened.
