ahhh yes...that all to familiar feeling...
Today was a decent day…and I use the term loosely. My driving lesson went well. We ended up in Troy where a parade was being held for 9/11. There were people everywhere and they weren’t very nice. The shouted obesities and insults even though they were the ones j walking and walking out in front of my car.
There was also a lot of impatient people who yelled at me for perfectly legal and mandatory things like stopping at a stop sign or obeying the right of way.
After my lesson I drove all the way to Saratoga…and this is where the fun stopped. On the way home my mother proceeded to tell me how I didn’t deserve the car and should sell it so Chad (my twin) could have a car because if he doesn’t have a car he won’t be able to drive to college. Excuse me?! Sense when is Chad’s lack of planning and saving my problem?! I shouldn’t be made to feel guilty because I refuse to sell a car that is a gift from a neighbor who cares about me. Anyone would be stupid to sell such a wonderful gift. But such is the logic of my family. If you’re not giving everything up for the family favorite you’re automatically a selfish and horrible person.
