conversation between me and my mother

mother turns on QVC

"wouldn't you like that?"
"no, mom."
"a black shoulder bag?"
"no, mom."
"look at all the compartments!"
"no, mom."
"are you sure?"
"mom, repeat after me. i will never..."
"i will never"
"ever"
"ever"
"buy anything for my daughter"
"buy anything for my daughter"
"on QVC"
"on QVC"
"or"
"or"
"Home Shopping Network"
(disgusted look) "i NEVER shop on Home Shopping Network!"

my in-laws once got us all qvc gift cards and wanted us to compare how we spent them. turns out there's a website you get buy stuff on. one of my brothers-in-law and I both got a supercool knife. it's great for chopping stuff.

and i'm not sure i've ever even watched the channel.

That's an interesting subcultural phenomenon: the war of the shopping channels! I wonder if they have Campbells-vs-Progresso-like commercials to woo certain viewers....
