Chapter Forty Two: But it was not your fault but mine...
It’s a known fact that parents like to tease their kids, cruel taunts and crafty looks letting the broken hearted feeling stretch out right up until the tears come. My mum and dad are no different. My mum’s friend is moving away, and in this move they aren’t taking their Bearded Dragon. Before the whole Zombie thing, that is all I wanted for my birthday. My mum knows this and has been teasing me for the past two days, along with my dad because it is ridiculously cheap and ready and they know that I want it. But as they keep pointing out, I have £0.00 to my name and my birthday present is a trip shooting Zombie (which I do not regret choosing.) I’d like to think that they will cave but I don’t want to hold my breath, it’s a lot to ask especially when they are forking out a lot for me already. Even if I do keep getting that craft ’I-know-something-that-you-would-want-to-know-but-don’t-and-I-won’t-tell-you-cause-it’s-super-awesome-and-I-want-to-keep-this-up-because-I-see-how-it-makes-you-squirm.’ smile.
