Me: can I ask for an early Christmas present?
Mum: sure what is it?
Me: a concert in Vienna in December.
Mum: of course!
Me: awesome, tickets go on sale next week!
Mum: oh you mean you want me to buy you the ticket.
Me: yeah what did you think I meant?
Mum: like… that I give you my permission to go?
Me: oh yeah no I’d go even if you didn’t want me to, I’m twenty-four years old.
Mum: fair enough.
