My dad got me a silver 't' necklace from Tiffany. This is actually a step up from usual, when he gets me cheap mexican silver.
I was all, 'aw... that's nice.' It's going back to Tiffany's tomorrow, though, because ... because, dammit, who the fuck knows me and gets me Tiffany's? Also because I never got around to pawning last year's jewelry and now I dunno where it went. Seriously. I was all, 'dammit, this should have gone to some daughter out there who would like this, like Elizabeth.'
I took one look at it and knew it was going back because even though it's probably the least annoying thing at Tiffany's he could have picked out, it's on the world's most thin silver chain. Breathing on it makes me afraid I'll break it.
My brother got a 50 dollar game card from Game Crazy, because I was there to help and convinced my dad not to buy a number of cheap shitty games, so my brother admits he got off better than I did.
Actual discussion:
My brother: (vaguely disappointed) I thought I was getting the Doctor Who Dalek Arc set.
Me: (uncomfortable) Well, I tried to point him that way, but ...
My brother: But at least I can pick out whatever. We can take the necklace back and get Daleks?
Me: True.
Later, my brother: You know what jewelry I would have helped him pick out and you woulda liked it?
Me: What?
My brother: A silver fobwatch with a T on it.
Me: OH YEAH, that would have been awesome. *sigh*
