So today I got a hundred percent on my math test, and that never happens. Ever. I bragged about it to my parents for all of five minutes, though--so I must not have been that proud, but hey, I deserve something for the effort I put in, right?
Apparently not.
I've been asking my dad to either order this one movie for me or take me to Blockbuster--either way. But he's always 'working.' Sheesh. Dads. (Totally kidding. I love my dad.)
This was how the conversation went.
"Hey, daddy!"
"Hm."
"How about to celebrate that hundred on my math test we go to Blockbuster and get that movie I wanna see?"
His response? No, he didn't laugh at me, but it was pretty close.
He chucked a tissue at me.
That's gross and insulting.
Without a word, he turned and headed back downstairs to his office. "Is that a no?" I called back to him. With an obvious 'yeah, it is' huff/laugh from his lips, he disappeared downstairs.
Sigh. It was worth a try.
Don't you think I should have been rewarded with that movie? I really want to see it! For, ah, embarrassing purposes--I mean privacy purposes--I won't tell you what movie it is, but I really wanna see it! Trust me, it's not bad--just weird, but I want to see it so bad!
Alas, kids are never treated fairly. And technically I'm not even a kid!
Go figure.
