My sister asked me if I wanted to go down to Freeport this afternoon for coffee. I had to decline because I need to finish my thesis.
My mother over heard this, sat down next to me and said "You need an incentive to finish that paper."
Assuming she meant an iced coffee or something, I jokingly said "Yeah, sure, how about a tattoo."
"Okay. That can be your graduation present, if that's what you want."
Wait... What?!
This coming from the woman who sobbed when my sister got a celtic not on the small of her back and refused to talk to my brother for two weeks when he got his labret stud.
Now she is offering to :: PAY :: for one.
This has to be a trap. I'll end up with the lyrics to "Jesus Loves Me" in Old E, or a portrait of teh cast of "Days of Our Lives" instead of an Oni Mask or Sacred Heart. I just know it. Devilry, I tells ya!

It pays to be a younger sibling. I think parents learn which battles are worth fighting, that or they just get lazy. I'd still be suspicious.
