Just a reminder: she is mad about me getting a hole in my sweat pants that were bought at K-Mart.

And about that first line, “You were stupid when you were born.”  It was something said by my brother, who is two years younger than me (so at that time, he would have been in the 1st grade). Yeah, it’s definitely one of those dumb things little kids say to each other to try to hurt each others’ feelings, and it did when he said that to me, because heck, I was 7 or 8 at the time. Almost any insult would have. It made it that much more painful when my own mother said it to me.

Over some cheap clothes. It was worth holding a pair of scissors to my neck over CLOTHES.
