['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.', 'Exactly!  Was a wonderful surprise', 'What kind of things did you get?', 'Oh just stuff for my freezer and a lot of snacks.  Milk, eggs, etc.   A bunch of meat.   Some toiletries.  That stuff lasted me a few weeks!']
These days that is a great gift, am I right?
