You talk so much about your goddam family, "Oh! My 17 yr old son wakes up quicker", "My 13 yr old started screaming ghost!"
Congrats, you made your 17 yr old sound generic and run-of-the-mill and your 13 yr old a retard.
Geez, psycho, I mean, sabot00. Sounds like you have a lot of unresolved issues dealing with family. I'm sorry your family probably can't stand you very much. Other than that nutjob, I thought the review was very helpful. Thanks for going to the trouble!
