Siri’s Moroccan plate

Siri says that her mother has always been very bad at buying presents, and that she truly believes she has never actually wanted anything her mother has gifted her.

She explains that when her mother took a trip to Morocco, Siri had asked her to bring back a very specific souvenir, in order to help combat this streak of bad gifts. Specifically, Siri had asked her to bring back a large, plain, brass fruit bowl. However, what her mother brought back for her was almost the exact opposite: a silver dinner plate with ornate carvings around the rim.

Siri says that she uses the plate at the bottom of the bag that holds her Christmas ornaments, as a support.

Atle awards Siri last place.
