Correcting Mothers Can Be Rewarding

(My mom and I are from Michigan, but we’re on vacation in St. Louis. We stop at a drugstore to buy a bag of ice. My mom goes into the store while I sit in the car to listen to the radio. She comes back out to the car 30 seconds later.)
Me: “What are you doing?”
Mom: “I forgot my rewards card.”
Me: “Your rewards card is for [Drugstore
#1 ]. This is a [Drugstore
#2 ]. In fact, I’m pretty sure there isn’t a single [Drugstore
#1 ] in the entire area.”
(She stopped for a moment and walked back into the store. I love my mother, but I swear she can be ditzy at times.)
