does anyone know how to deal with parents that like... feel the need to interview you for "big" purchases? like i've been thinking about getting a fish tank and doing some freshwater plant arrangements just as a hobby. something different i've never tried before. it seems fun! of course it will cost some money but it's not exactly going to break the bank. it's going to be all my money. i can afford it. the biggest upfront purchase is getting the tank itself. i've been browsing craigslist for some tanks.

i show some pictures of prospective tanks to my mom because i want to keep in touch with her and share with her my hobbies and interests (and let her know where i might be going in case there's some weird blowjob bartering going on and my semen-filled corpse isn't found until two days later) and suddenly she's like WELL WHAT DO YOU NEED A FISHTANK FOR? HOW ARE YOU GOING TO USE IT? WHY DO YOU WANT IT? WHAT HAPPENS IF THE FISH DIES? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU WANT TO SELL IT? HOW ARE YOU GOING TO MOVE IT?

she did this once before when i was thinking about buying a bicycle. a bicycle.

what is going on here??? is it craigslist? is the fish? is it that fish tanks are made of glass and can be a hazard to children under the age of 30 and i never knew?
