It seems I finally managed to buy the 2012 edition of the maternal birthday present. For a moment I even thought that I accidentally used HER credit card to pay for her present—could have been a thrilling birthday, indeed—but I didn’t. Every goddamn year it’s the same story. It took quite a long time to choose, as my mother doesn’t really like anything, apart from playing cards—but she has an assortment of decks in various shapes and colors and featuring all kinds of decorations, from trolls to Disney characters—and sipping alcoholic beverages. Even if she’s not crazy about them, another thing she likes is Westerns, so western-related present it was… Wait. Now that I am writing this, I realize that my mother fits the description of Calamity Jane, even though my mother’s name isn’t Jane and she’s quite alive. Whatever. I got her Western movies and comics. I am 99% sure though she won’t be able to use the DVD player to watch any movie as among other things she is also barely knowledgeable when it comes to technology and devices making use of connectivity of any kind. She will probably end reading the comics and the movie’s synopsis on the rear of her DVD, thus I hope at least that her imagination has gotten better in recent times.
