Listen up if'n y'all wanna know what hardship REALLY is! I was forced to wear gaters when I was a kid. GATERS. Keriste, like I give a rat's ass who cares about socks and sandals. Gaters. Some friend of the family gave them to me for Christmas when I was six. I woulda preferred a chocolate bar, or in this case a card. Then I had to show how grateful I was by wearing the fu#king things IN PUBLIC. Humbug!
