i wanted a new bike for my 10th birthday , yet all i got was a pair of socks you must have been rather disappointed . but its the thought that counts . yeah , i guess being a ten year old i could n't understand the financial hardships that my parents were going through at the time . true , they only want the best for us . sometimes that can mean making hard decisions , such as foregoing the bike . i agree , though i was sad at the time , i feel much better now .
Unmet expectations.
