The next year my mother got pampering gifts, my sister got power tools and I got a Tyco Race Track. 4 4points reply View more comments #16 My mother bought my sister down winter coats for each of her family. My family, a cheap $1 barbie that broke on contact, a used electric knife with moldy dried meat still on it, and for my son, a t-shirt my mother found in the road with asphalt in it in a walmart bag. She didn't wrap a single gift. The knife at least had a box. Her comment about the t-shirt, "Here, I found this in the road and you're so good at getting stains out!". I'm the young child, obviously not the favorite!

Grandma basically raised me & was of course, pretty old.
I got a bunch of board games that required 4 or more players.
Like, okay. What’s a lone kid supposed to do with these? Invent 3 imaginary friends to play Candy Land?

My Sister got a bubble bath with a happy clock face on it that you could play with.
When I finally got a present, I opened it and it was socks . I screamed and shouted that socks were not a present, threw the socks across the room and in tears, stormed out .
The whole room was in hysterics.
