When different is the same

My sister: Want to get Mom some flowers for her birthday?

Me: Sure. Something springy.

Sister: When I think of flowers for Mom, I always think coral. That's what I got last time.

Me: No, get something different this time. Maybe something pink and yellow.

Pause.

Pause.

Me: Which is pretty much the same as coral I guess.

*laughter on both sides*

So much for the "new and exciting" brainstorming. :p
