Please, help. I think I have lost my perspective.

My mom tells this story about how when she was a little kid she used to go to her grandparents and play billiards on their pool table. She had the most and when it came time for them to move years later they asked if she wanted any of their stuff that they didn't need any more. My mom wanted the pool table but when she went to collect it she realized that it was a long time ago and the table was only big enough for her to play with if she was a little girl. This story is to illustrate that sometimes mothers do and think stupid things.
