me: no.
mother: yes, but can i eat them?
me: well you can eat anything if you really want to.
mother: but will i like them?
me: no.
mother: well, who bought all this grape juice?
me: i think dad did…for you.
mother: well that’s so thoughtful of him. but why so much?
me: …
mother: *nervous titter* *nervous titter* *nervous titter*
