Mum doing the sourcing work for my cousin again

Yesterday morning, just before we went out (my mum going my cousins' place while I go to work), my mum showed me 3 items which she copied down. My cousin, Nelson, needs to bring those items to school.

I remembered last week, my mum told me that Nelson need 7 items. Out of the 7 items, my mum do not understand what these 3 items meant. I do not understand why my mum had to take the responsibilities to help my cousins source for all these items. Previously, the sea shells case. And now this. Can't she just let my aunt know? She does understand English. She could source for the items. Yet she did not do that. To make things worst, she only asked me yesterday morning. *Sigh!*

The three items are: Buttons, Assorted Bottle Caps, Used Bread Tags.

I told her in Chinese and my mum went to dig out 1 button. I told her the word got 's' so it's more than 1. She was like not happy. When I told what assorted bottle caps meant, she was even sianz as she said where to find so many different bottle caps. And she was like quite grumpy about it. I just ignore her after that.

While on our way out, she went to take a few bottle caps from my neighbour. From the bottles which my neighbour used to keep water to water the plants. OMG! I told my mum that she shouldn't do that. She said it's ok. My neighbour have so many bottles. He'll throw away those without caps. -.-''' Without saying much, I just walk away.
