So I just opened my Christmas present that I have been waiting a whole week for. Supposedly, this present was supposed to "help me do what I like".

I basically already have everything I could want. A laptop, 2 iPods, PSP, Wii, bike, phone, and a room all to myself. What more could I have wanted? I didn't know. I just asked my mom what she was going to get me. She said, "Something that will help you do the one thing you love."

So I come home, and open my present. I'm all giddy and shiz but when I see it, I totally don't know what to say.

 

A pack of pencils.

 

Ordinarily, I would have at least said, "Thanks, Mom." but when she passed by, as much as I tried to say it, I couldn't. Maybe I was expecting a bit more.

 

Don't lecture me about "It's the thought that counts!" or "Be happy she got you something!" because I know that I should be glad she at least got me something. But it says something. She doesn't know me at all. Just because I leave a few drawings here and there he thinks I love art. Don't get me wrong, I like it. Still, it tells me that she doesn't know I like Kingdom Hearts, editing videos/images, anime, Daft Punk, nothing.

All I can say is be honest to her. Its better than lying to her.

D:

That's just... I really don't know what to say.

Be honest to your mom, like Viva said. I mean, she got you something, but you're right, she doesn't know you.

You're not being a spoiled brat. Not one bit.

I really don't know what to say D:

Thanks Viva and Koko. Although I don't want to hurt her feelings in saying I was let down, I guess I'll have to.

I know how you feel right now, don't get me wrong I am happy for what I got but when I opened a present and realized it was a shirt of the least favorite football team I like, I was kind of sad and I did tell my mom I didn't like the ream very much after that... I felt bad for saying that to her, but it's nice to be honest. I told her I appreciated it though and said thank you...I may sound like a spoiled brat too but that's not what I intended to do at all.. I just wanted my mom to know me and what I liked. I enjoy her kindness but I understand how you feel right now. It may be tough to tell her, but if you want your mom to know more about you then you should tell her the truth, but let her know you still appreciated what she did. <3
