Today, my mom was feeling down, so I decided to buy her a gift. Knowing she likes lighthouses, I bought her a tiny one that plugs in and lights up. I brought it home, plugged it in, and when she saw me with it, she said, "Wipe that smirk off your face and get that junk out of here." FML

Aww well at least you were thinking about her, but next time give her a Snickers. She was probably hungry, and you're never yourself when you're hungry!!!!
