This happened one hour after I placed a doujin order.

Mom: "So, your work is over. Did you save the $100? ):<"
Me: "Uh...yeah, I did..."
Mom: "Excellent! Give them to me next week so I can deposit them on the bank :)"
Me: "..."

Don't think wrong, my mom will be saving that money for me to use on an upcoming travel. But the thing is, I was planning to use part of that money on the doujin order, to get the money back on April. Now, since my mom is taking the money, and the One Coin figures will cost me much more than I had planned, I made some calculations. Aaaand now, if I buy the doujin, I won't have money for my mom's birthday. No need to say, I had to cancel >_<

I'll be trying to sell some old books to gather more money. I hope somebody buys them, or else, the anthology will be sold out soon and next time I find it, it will be at an outrageous price x_x

*curses the fact of having a mom obsessed with money saving >_<*
