 Ma' got me some good stuff, wasn't much more than an after-thought for one other, and wasn't even an after-thought for most people.
	Ma' got me some good stuff, wasn't much more than an after-thought for one other, and wasn't even an after-thought for most people.Even though I spend ages getting everything something special for them, and I make sure that everyone has something to open. It ain't 'bout getting goodies, its about showing some thought.
Worst part was having to defend myself every 30 minutes from one snide hypocritical comment here or there, until I gave up and went into Ma's bedroom to piss about on the internet instead.
