my parents & the almighty dollar

i have spent $370. 60 since the beginning of may on school supplies. this is not including my rent, or my food, or my utilities, i.e. this is not including the amount of money i have to spend to survive here. this is why, mom and dad, i have to work so much, since this seems to be so puzzling to you both. you want me to spend the money to come and see you, but you dont want me to work so much. quite the paradox.

i think you once told me that money doesnt grow on trees...
