i know i share this story a lot throughout the year and especially around this time of year.
my Hanukkah story...(with a new twist)
my parents never really gift givers, and if they were... they weren't good at it. friends always bragged about how many presents they would receive, 1 for each night, or the loads people received on XMAS.
so 1 year my parents gave me a gift one night. it was of course unwrapped and contained no card...it was 1 pair of socks. thats it, nothing else...i was angry, upset...i was outraged. i shared a few choice words with my parents "what the fuck...SOCKS?!?" they responded with "but they are Tommy Hilfiger Socks!"
i said "WHAT THE FUCK?!"
i was then told i was ungrateful and haven't received anything on Hanukkah, ever again...
that same night my friend god a brand new VW car...no bitterness.
HERES THE NEW TWIST!
my parents were over last night and we were talking about something...and presents/gifts came up and so did a conversation about my sister...she just got a new car, and i said something to the effect of..."what did you get her a remote control starter for her NEW car?"
and then there was an awkward silence. yes, yes they did...they just bought my little sister (who had a car handed to her and wasn't appreciative of the gift and pays no gas or insurance) a car starter...they were concerned that there was no remote unlocker...godforbid she have to use the key to unlock the car.
so ya, same ole.
