The guy I work with has such a typical mom, or maybe she is just similar to what my mom would have done.

She went to Sam's and bought the huge roll of paper towels but she was not paying close attention. She got the giant double rolls and they are full sheets. She wanted the ones with 1/2 sheet perforations. Our chief pilot went on a rant one day on how he hates the 1/2 sheet paper towels and prefers the full sheet rolls. I can't care less but I think the 1/2 sheet ones are handy and less wasteful.

We had just bought a package of the paper towels for here at the office. He said "Mom, I have a simple plan, I will bring the new package of 1/2 sheet paper towels we bought and swap them with your full sheet paper towels".

That is pretty simple, do nothing and just swap the packages. Done deal. So off he goes to his mom's house to swap the packages. He comes back cussing.

His mom decided that somehow he wanted her to go back to Sam's and swap the packages there and while she was there she bought a second package for him since he would need some. So now he is at his mom's house in a Miata and was wanting to do a simple swap. Instead he has to bring back the package of 1/2 paper towels and he has a second huge package of paper towels and no place to put them in the car. He had to break open the package and stuff individual rolls of paper towels to get them to his house and bring back the giant package to the office.

That is so like what my mom would have done. I do miss my mom.
