Conversations With My Mother
My Mother: I have something to tell you about your graduation present!
Me: The iPhone I wanted?
My Mother: Well...I went to a place that sells the thing you wanted, and they were missing the box...and nobody had the box...so I had to call them and tell them to mail the box to you in Brooklyn.
Me: Wait, what box? A box?
My Mother: The box for the thing you wanted for your graduation present!
Me: A box for an iPhone?
My Mother: Well...I...don't...know!
Me: Can you just tell me because I have no idea what you are talking about right now.
My Mother: It is an iPhone.
Me: What is the box?
My Mother: The iPhone is the box! It is box-shaped!
