小孩子

Today I bought something new. I always buy something new, but this was different. I bought a scale for my aunt and my uncle because their old scale had a margin of error of 5 pounds and they were dieting. I thought this would be beneficial.

So today when they came home with the kids I was excited to show them, especially my aunt. Of course they were all stressed out and I was brushed aside before I even got a chance to tell them. When I showed my aunt all she could tell me was "later, I'm really busy right now".

I mean, I guess it's fine. My reaction to that should not have been as strong as it was. Then I realized that that was the story of my life. Always brushed off to the side by my parents who wouldn't take 30 seconds to acknowledge me.

All the gifts in the world, and never any of the time. Story of my life.
