Valentine's Day is just around the corner and my mom, once again, got me a Valentine's present. She's such a thoughtful and giving mom. She likes spoiling me and my dad with gifts, especially when she has money. I've always wished she has money all the time.^^
This year's Valentine's theme is a pinky and a childish one. She gave me a matching pink Hello Kitty keyboard and mouse. First, I was thankful and touched that she gave me a gift, again. But then I realized how disappointing it was to receive such gifts that I won't even need. I know it sounds too ungrateful of me not to appreciate the fact that she thought of giving me another Valentine's present.
She definitely knows what I want and what I would need. But how come, she never realized that her daughter is no longer a 12-year old kid but a trying-to-be-independent 21-year old young adult?
When I asked her why she gave me Hello Kitty stuff, all she said was that Hello Kitty is "in" once again. That's what totally disappointed me. It'd be alright if she never gave me a gift because Valentine's Day is just one of the most commercialized day in a year. It makes me wonder whether she truly knows what her daughter needs and wants and hasn't she realized I'm old enough for such kiddy stuff?
I'm sorry mom for doing this. I hope you'd understand my point as well. I should be thankful rather than disappointed. As the old saying goes, "it's the thought that counts". You know I love you mom. (There goes my pinky heart for you.)
