I just remembered my mothers favorite line; "its an investment" when she was buying:
*diamond jewlery
*one of a kind dolls
*beanie babies
*loose gemstones
*collectors barbie dolls
*any knick knack that was a 'special edition number' and she had to pay the extra money to get as close to 'special edition #1' as she could because they are worth more than 'special edition #4997.'
(and if anyone is wondering, all of the above mentioned items are worthless. Even the jewlery loses value due to the extreme markup when you initially purchase it)
Oh, I got another one, and heres a weird one:
"But I'm bipolar, I cant help it" . yes. I heard that alot. How can you even argue with that?
