My father told me when I was about five years old, that I was very irresponsible because every toy that he has ever bought me eventually winds up damaged and thrown away, and a forward thinking person would not behave as I did. When I asked where were all the things that his father gave him, he gave me a long stare and left the room. Later that night, I heard him arguing with my mother over why she didn’t take birth control pills regularly at least a year before I was born.
