that don't make no sense
Exchange with my sisters during their recent visit:
THEM: "You're the golden child as far as Mom's concerned. Everything one of our kids does, she finds a way to connect it to you."
ME: "What? You all have kids, you're homeowners, you still live in the same state...and I'm going to be up to my eyeballs in debt for the rest of my life, will never be anything but a renter, and ran as far and fast from home as I could when I turned 18...and I'm the golden child?"
THEM: "Yep."
ME: "That's fucked up."
