Growing alike

Just doing “my” christmas cards this morning (not many, 1 from me, 1 from cat) and noticed the shop had put them in a brown paper bag.

Thought to myself “that looks useful, I´ll keep it”

Then thought to self “thats a bit too much like my mother” (she had drawers full of carrier bags, envelopes and paper bags)

Remembered some joke about old people and paper bag collection

hmm

Went to G and said “look - a brown paper bag - a bit retro to get one of those with a purchase, I will bin it”

She (who must be obeyed). “no, I can always use that”

Me “bloody hell, you are turning into my mother”

Cue explosion

... but I think we kept the bag
