Chinese women...

I mailed my mother a Mother's Day card this week.

Today, on Gchat...

May: btw, Mom got your card and the first thing she commented it on was that it was $6.
E: sheesh.
E: if I had known mom'd have commented about the price i'd have bought a cheaper card
E: it hurt me to buy a $6 card too
May: yeah, she said the one she gave grandma was only $3
May: lol
E: but that one was the prettiest
May: well, you can tell her that
E: and i took time to pick that one out man
E: grandma wouldn't even know about mother's day (note: my grandma is senile)
E: are you doing anything for mother's day?
May: no
May: i'm studying.


Chinese women.... (exasperated)


Edit: Mom later called me to say she appreciates the card's beauty and my message, and that she was just joking about the $6.
