I like to look at Christmas as a break even proposition. My mom gives me $200 each year, and I try not to spend more than that.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

I have giftcards which will be put to good use. But I don't wanna buy clothes! I wanna buy furniture and fixtures and a downspout!

Yeah, what with the nephews and the postdocing brother, I do not break even.

I actually overspent this year, but then my mother inexplicably gave me $300.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I bought a coat at the post-Christmas sales, and then realized it was just a little more than my grandmother gave me for birthday + Christmas, and she would be thrilled to know I actually bought something specific. Also, we love coats. So I'm glad I remembered to tell her that!
Speaking of my grandmother and coats, she could not be cuter -- she was asking me how "they" are wearing coats now, because she's concerned that hers are now too long, due to her shrinking. Aw! I told her "they" are wearing them all lengths, and she should not worry about the styles! Due to being 91 years old.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oddball job interview questions:
I want a job interviewer to ask me what is the philosophy of martial arts. An interviewer for a job I don't want. Because that's a really stupid question.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I had one of those job interviews once. Got asked why manhole covers were round, and how I'd go about estimating the number of gas stations in the city.
I think those types of estimating questions are called Fermi problems. Fortunately, I had learned about them in physics class. Less fortunately, I forgot why manhole covers are round.
