Conversation in the car that followed this one:
Me: “So, how would you like your kids to buy you a Prius as a gift?”
Erin: “That would be really sweet.”
Me: “Of course, we don’t know if they bought her the Prius.”
Erin: “You’re right. It could have been just the licence plate.”
Me: “Here you go, mommy! Your own license plate!”
Erin: “That way people will think you guys bought me my Prius, you cheapskates!”
