Tis the season…

SISTER and MUM are in the kitchen.  A pair of earrings MUM is wearing catches her eye. 

SISTER: (looking more closely at the earrings) These are nice.  Are they new?

MUM: Yes.

SISTER: Where did you get them?

MUM: Oh you know…(goes quiet).

SISTER: What?

MUM: Ok, I actually bought them as a Christmas present for you.

SISTER: Nice Mum.  That’s real nice.

MUM: Well, after I bought them, I thought that they were pretty similar to the earrings you wear already.

SISTER: No Mum.  You didn’t think that.

MUM: But I bought you something else.

SISTER: That’s ok.  If I hate that present I’ll just rip my original present off your ears.

MUM laughs. 

SISTER: Why are you laughing?

THE END.
