Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee

Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee I want it quick, now, and it has to be the best. My child does not want those shoes. You need to bring him designer shoes. Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee Yes put my children on the Christmas list. But make sure you bring them something better Than you would ever buy your own children You need to bring the receipts too Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee I am sick of people saying they are taking our cards They are closing our accounts, they are wanting us to work. I am disabled every second of the day Unless I want to do something, then I am not. Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee I am entitled, and it had better be something nice. Free prom dresses. Of course. Free turkey at Thanksgiving. Yes, and it had better be pre-cooked. I do not appreciate Getting a half-gift Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee I have no idea why my child asked you to give her that. I did not raise her to walk into a room and ask for something And then get mad if she did not get it. Or maybe I did?

Couldn't agree more. It is a sad note upon our youth that this is the way many of them act. As you said, did we do this to them? Did we teach them to expect the best. Then that is a sad note upon us.

A lot of them have been taught by grandmother and grandfather gimmees, so it is not only the young.

You have really captured an attitude here, Caren... Captured it and brought it to life and stood it up to the harsh glare of 'unfriendly others.' Very, very well-done! Best wishes, gw

I had so much fun writing this up, for we see it every day where I work, and I imagine in thousands of other villages, in millions of other castles, and communities. Ha!
