I just realized when people say you're like yours parents, well, they have no idea.
EVERYTHING runs in the family.
*ehem. Self-experience. ehem.*
It's just not in the same genre.
Take mine for example. I have a twisted family that sometimes I just don't know where the heck my relatives come from. Guess where? My granma's cousin's niece's daughter married an unknown male. Thus created another long line of relatives.
So. Back to the topic.
Cheapskate-ness runs in my family. The 'simple' family that I know.
Dialog between mom and daughter :
Mom : Ooh, (insert name here), look what I bought for you. A cool shirt that's your 'style'! It's by (insert famous, expensive brand here)
Me : *Checks tag* Ehem. Mom? It's RM(insert hundreds of bucks here)...
Mom : So?
Me : So, IT'S A SALE!! WHAT? 80% OFF!?
Mom : Ehh...hehhee....
I don't mind the above scenario exactly. Every mom does that. I know. But it really annoys you when they go to, say, Le Meridien (hotel) on coupon (FREE!), packs each and every bottle of soap, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, toothbrush they can get and line it in our bathroom.
My granma's worse. Well, actually her sister. On every flight to God-knows-where, she packed up coffee blends, ear muffs, even nuts ((who would've want nuts?). My granma got A BAG OF GOODIES from her sister.
And she probably still has more right when I'm typing this.
