[quote=Anonymous]My mom is famous for latching onto a theme.  Say you mention briefly in passing that you like something that happens to have a flamingo on it.  The next Christmas, you'd get an entire array of things with flamingos on it.

Now that I'm older, I find I have a definite tendency to do this too.  As fall was starting, my middle school daughter announced that she had to have a chenille sweater - they were so soft and a few of her friends had them.  I go to the store, there are tons, obviously a very trendy item this fall, so she gets one for her birthday.

She was wearing it last week and I stroked it and said how nice it was and she looked me dead in the eye and said, I have a feeling I'm going to get too many of these for Christmas.  So I have to restrain myself - they are super cheap most places (like ~$15) but I am committing to not buying more than two.  But maybe she will also get chenille socks and a  Chenille robe.......argh I can't help myself.  I am my mother.  [/quote]
