Oh Nuts

Especially if you don't remember asking for it at all. Earlier this afternoon Amanda and my mom were going out shopping together and I apparently told them to bring something back. Even if I don't remember saying something they did and brought me back a surprise. When they were at Hobby Lobby my mom found this sign <= and decided to get it for me.
