#and im debating whether or not to sew buttons on my mom's second hat scarf glove all in one set like i did the first

The problem with my family is that we agree that we're going to get each other one (1) surprise gift for Christmas.

And then my mom's like, "by the way, I got you both two."

So me and my brother are like okay, we're gonna get each other and mom two (2) surprise gifts for Christmas.

And then my brother asks me if I can wrap some of his gifts for my mom for him and he brings me three (3) surprise gifts for my mom.

So now I need to buy three (3) surprise gifts for my mom and brother for Christmas.

And then my brother brings me another gift to wrap for my mom so now he's at the four (4) surprise gift level.

Plus however many he's wrapped himself.

So now, me having originally stuck to the one (1) gift agreement has to suddenly buy another gift and then another gift and then another gift so I don't feel bad for not getting them that much.

And my mom's like "well, it's the thought that counts" and I'm like well yeah obviously, but you also told my brother wanted to originally buy me a goddamn mini fridge for my surprise gift so I can't imagine he didn't spend a lot on these gifts, and I did not plan to spend this much on gifts because I planned to buy a bunch of board games for us to play as an extra surprise.

Anyway, I've now gotten them both five (5) gifts plus one (1) novelty gift and also on top they have a board game wrapped as a present also because ahhhhhhhh why can't we stick to the rule we all agreed to earlier?
