Whats a great Christmas gift that can be guessed in 20 questions?
In years past, when my brother was asking her what she wanted for Christmas, my mother was in the habit of saying “I don’t know.” One year, he decided to buy her an “I don’t know”. He bought something he was sure she wouldn’t recognize, wrapped it up and gave it to her and was incredibly disappointed when she opened it up and instantly said, “You got me a strawberry huller, how lovely.” I offer up this story by way of suggesting that unless your mother quite likes to cook or is strange like my mother, she probably won’t know what a strawberry huller is. In fact, even if she quite likes to cook or is strange like my mother, she probably won’t know what a strawberry huller is, as I quite like to cook, and am very much my mother’s daughter, and I thought it was a bizarrely small set of sugar tongs.
