My dad's gone on a business trip over the weekend, so I'll be spending it at my moms. Dad will do his birthday party next weekend. Sometime before the end of this week I've gotta mow the lawn. Anyone want to make a road trip and mysteriously murder me without a trace so I don't have to?
My brothers get a present (sometimes each if they're cheap enough) for me through mom and then again through dad, so it's almost like I get twice the presents from them.
Mom usually gives me money for my birthday because my wish list changes rapidly from month to month, to speak nothing of from birthday to birthday
She used to ask me specifically what I wanted, but she stopped trying to do that around when I was 8 and asked for a green power ranger and instead got some no-name thing that didn't come anywhere near it. She got a talking-to for that one
Dad sometimes gives me money for my birthday, and other times gets me something he thinks I'll like or be able to put to good use. He's right a lot of times. There's the occasional time he'll just ask me to order something online for up to x amount of money, but he usually saves those for other happy occasions, like me getting a GED or giving my brothers a nice computer.
