I tried that. They insist on buying me something because "it's tradition".

It is ok if I find this hilarious? Mine's not quite that bad but she definitely doesn't approve.
She might just be sad that you're all grown up and independent now. And that kind of request is a reminder of that fact to her. Mothers miss caring for children. When my sister left my mom got two cats to replace her. When I left she got three dogs (clearly this means I'm more important

I would feel very bad asking for something so expensive. They would probably buy it for me, they're that generous. First world problems I guess. I try pretty hard to earn things in life and so I have a tendency to turn anyone down that offers to give things to me. That's just how I am.

Listen to what you're proposing. A sheet of material that acts as a light polarity filter and can instantly switch between two different very specific material properties. That's some pretty advanced physics/chemistry. As far as I know scientists haven't been able to produce anything like this yet.
AON3 is completely right.

Has he been fired yet?
