['Last year my mother took me grocery shopping for my birthday', "Wow, that's... odd.  Was it for a cake?", "haha no.  I'm 35 years old.  I couldn't think of anything I wanted.  So she bought my groceries.  At this age I apprecite that kind of thing."]
Hahaha Sorry I just assumed you were 5 years old or something.  Yeah getting practical gifts is more appealing as one gets older.
