I Just Can't

I don't even know if that is even proper English, but I just can't deal with my mom sometimes.  She's your typical Asian parent where everything is too expensive and should be free.

Case in point:

We talked about seeing the Lion King when it comes to San Diego.  I think my brother put the idea in her head.  I saw it with said brother and some friends in Costa Mesa last year.  It was good.  She asked how much I paid and said $50.  They weren't the best seats (in the top most section), but you can still see and I enjoyed it.

In San Diego, it's in the San Diego Civic theater which is where we saw the Nutcracker this past Christmas.  I showed her where we sat and said they were good seats.  For Lion King, I think they were going for $80.  She asked how much I paid for the seats for the Nutcracker.  It's a completely different show, but the same seat, so the price should be the same... local ballet company vs touring Broadway show.  Yep, totally get it!

I show her the cheapest tickets on the Ticketmaster site.  They are either in the farthest away from the stage and to the far corners or are listed as seats with sight obstructions.  Duh, they ARE the cheapest tickets!

She just scoffs.  Who would pay for those seats?  Who would pay for any seats?!?!

I'm done.  I just can't.
