Candies.

Specifically the grandma candy dish Strawberry wrapped & flavored ones...now, normally candy is candy but this got weird.

So it started last autumn when we were sitting around & talking shit about old people (as we are old) and i made the joke about these specific candies and how you never EVER see them for sale in any retail store, they judt appear magically to those over 65 years old.

So then my friend went on a quest, she bought some on line that got held up in customs, so returned those. then the next ones were shipped from Argentina to a friend in Belize who shipped them to us in Spain....so as a joke she gave them to me in February as a Christmas present.

But that's not the gift.

There is another person who overheard this candy journey & shortly after receiving these this person left for the US to visit family and came back with 5lbs (2.5kg)!!! and gifted them to me saying "I heard a little bird saying these were your favorites!".

Soni say thank you but then explained how the whole thing was a joke & a gag gift....when they were leaving much later that evening I again thanked them for the gift and this person said "You're welcome, even though they're not your favorite!

and all I could honestly think of was "mom?"

I mean ..Holy fuck who says that? (besides my mom).
