The kid made up a BS story to get his mom to take him shopping. He ditched her at the mall and picked up a pair of custom wood I-Pod ear buds for her.

Then he took her out for sushi for dinner.

He did a great job. No one prompted him. This is the first time he has taken the initiative to do something for someone else. On his dime too.

Good job young man. I am proud of you.
