Well my grandmother's other granddaughter picked her up a kettle, the same kettle that I saw on clearance at Superstore (where she works) for $3.00 and she also got her student and employee discount on it (I didn't know you could combine those but she lets on that she can) and my grandmother has not shut up about how this belated birthday present (which was two days late) is the best gift ever and how she shouldn't have spent her money on it (even though I spent $50.00 on her and her only response was that she expected the calendar from me etc.). Why is it that my older cousin should save her money and it is expected for me to give generously just because I am a couponer?
I give up.
I think I will give her four rolls of toilet paper for christmas and she will praise me.
