You are a terrible person!

I have no idea what I got for my 16th birthday. I guarantee it had nothing to do with a car, as I wasn't able to drive for another year.

We stopped getting birthday presents at 12 or so... Christmas went on a bit longer but it consisted of sweaters... socks.. underwear... and one toy.

I have no idea...that was like 22 years ago and really a completely forgetable event even then.

It's funny, a lot of you guys were encouraged to get a job but my parents seem to be trying to stop me. Won't give me a ride and won't let me get my license. Guess I'm never gonna get hired.

What is their reasoning behind that?

I don't really remember my 16th, but for my daughter's 16th, we had front row tickets to Circ De Soleil (sp?).

It was awesome!
