"Mom, can I do the refund?"
My mind is swirling at this point.  Have I recently purchased something that has a refund offer with it?  Did she see the massive $5.00 refund check I got in the mail from Bed Bath & Beyond and want it for herself?  Do I have something that I was supposed to take back to the store for a refund that I have forgotten about?  
When I don't immediately answer her, she asks me again. 
I tell her that I am not sure what she means.  She gets upset with me and angrily says
"The refund thing!  Can I do the refund thing?"
I am still clueless!  
Seeing her frustration with me, I try to coax out of her what she is talking about without making her more upset.  Sometimes that is not an easy task. I didn't want her going to school in a bad mood. That's not a good way to start a school day!  
"What kind of refund" I prodded,
"THE REFUND FROM MY SCHOOL," she growls at me!!
The lightbulb in my head goes on and I realize she wants to know if I am going to let her participate in the "FUNDRAISER" for her school!  
HA! At least she had part of the word right!
