that memory was so old...i think i only remember it because i remember giving it to my mom, and she was in the bath or something. weird. it must've been her birthday, or mother's day. my dad used to save every picture i drew him in a file in his desk... office supplies? that's pretty awesome. yeah, my mother only wants the most stereotypical gifts. i doubt she liked the elmo book. honestly, i think my dad would've appreciated it more.

yeah...my dad started getting really busy and stressed with work, and my mother realized the flaws of her marriage. and started seeing me as 'like my father,' haha.
