I just realized I was promised a bunch of things as a child that I never got! 😰

I was promised, in song form even, a mockingbird that couldn’t sing, a fake diamond ring, a broken mirror, a billy goat, and a list of things beyond that! Like, wth?!

You were being prepared for "I got a bike for Christmas but the chain broke."

@Mamapolo2016 Nah, I got that for my 10th birthday 😂
@Mamapolo2016 The chain came off? Thats not a broken thing. If the chain was really broken the store wouldn't have sold it to your dad.
@Elevatorpitches You're assuming it was a new bike.
@Mamapolo2016 What parent would give his kid a broken bike as a gift?

Thats too far for even THIS place.
@Elevatorpitches This was meant to be a light-hearted comment, not a dissertation. I quit.

@Mamapolo2016 Additionally, she makes several assumptions through the filter of her own life that simply are not true for everyone. We grew up poor in the sticks of the south. A used 20 year old bike in reasonable repair was a great gift at the time! Not at all their fault if the chain broke a few days later.

Also, who the hell picks apart a post that’s obviously meant to be funny? 🤦‍♂️
@Mamapolo2016 Just needing some light hearted meaning. Sorry if thats too picky.
@Zaphod42 One of six kids in a preacher's family here. We got used dogs.
