To calm my Mother's Day meltdown my wonderful friend suggested I list types of tape. It worked.

• "regular tape"
• masking tape
• blue painter's tape (yeahyeah, I know it's the same as masking tape)
• scotch tape
• audio cassette tape
• video cassette tape
• strapping tape
• packaging tape
• double-sided tape
• duct tape
• medical tape
• electrical tape
• gaffer's tape
• drywall tape
• aluminum tape
• crime scene tape
• keep-out tape
• teflon tape
• BubbleTape
• correction tape (like White Out)
