Well, your highness, then perhaps you should get off your dead bum and go buy it yourself next time.

Just as good and cheaper to boot. What's the problem?

When you're making the cash, then you get to make the decisions on what you get at the store. I can almost guarantee that, with your first few paychecks, you're probably going to be pushing Oodles o' Noodles and store-brand cola around instead of that filet mignon . . .

I never had a problem like this. The only problem is when my mom bought me underwear, and they were too big. I used to gripe along with my friends about the problem we had about our dic#'s falling out our underwear.

frogio: ...no, really, mom...this stuff really, really stinks

mom: Just shaddap and eat your Foot Loops

If your Mom,or anyone else goes to the store for your sorry little butt-GIVE THANKS.

I'll agree with Jed and Molfan. I'd just be grateful that she spent the gas money and cost of the items to get me whatever it is that she ended up bringing home to me. If I'm going to complain about her shopping methods (or eyesight, depending on what the problem actually is); I'd do my own shopping and save on the hassle.

Yeah, when I was younger, this was a biggie for me. My mom, God bless her, had a knack for accidentally buying the sugar-free/generic/caffeine-free/diet version of even basic things like cereal.

I am with Jed in this one. buy it yourself dear. if that wanted item is not on sale or more than i want to shell out. go shopping yourself.

I'd take that as a hint that it's time to do your own shopping.
