For her birthday on Sunday, I bought my mom a copy of The Skeleton Key. Since the first time she watched it, she hasn't been able to stop talking about it. When we see people in the video section at Safeway, she'll tell them what an excellent movie it is.
I tried peeling off the price sticker, but the big "$9.99" just wouldn't come off. I didn't even bother wrapping it. I gave it to her and said 'happy birthday', and her reaction was really not what I expected.
"I told you what I wanted for my birthday!" She slurred. She got her unemployment check in the mail today, so she spent the afternoon and evening at the Eagles club. Of course.
"What did you want for your birthday?" I asked. I was a little taken aback that she didn't even bother to say, 'Thank you', or 'I love this movie', or even to acknowledge that I'd given her something.
"I wanted new sheets!" She kind of stomped her feet a little for added emphasis. I'm looking at $500 pay for the entire month here, and she's upset that I didn't spend $50+ on her birthday present? When she brags that her idiot boyfriend makes $700 a week and just bought a $250 TV on a fucking whim?
Right now part of me is hoping that there is a God, because I'm going to need some kind of divine guidance to get through the next year with her.
The next three movies I will be watching, courtesy of Netflix:
1: Boxing Helena
2: Bend It Like Beckham
3: Hell House
