Mother's Day Rant

Quick background: I'm the only vegan in the family.

My brother invited me to take our mother out for lunch this past Mother's Day. I get the vegan burger. He pays for everything. Afterwards, he says "Let's get dessert at C.R.E.A.M." Mother & I say ok. Bro says "Since I covered the main course, you'll cover dessert, right?"

"If everyone gets the non-dairy options, sure"

"But I paid for your vegan burger!"

"Then I'll pay for my own food if that's how it's gonna be. I'm not paying for animal products"

"So if Mom wants dairy, you wouldn't buy it for her?"

"Nope"

"Wow"

..

I'm a slow thinker, & it was the next day I thought of saying "If you were boycotting something, I would never in a million years ask you to buy it for me."
