Spring Break Update
So far, spring break has been pretty awesome. I slept in until about 10:45, got my hair cut, came back, stole my brother's car and went to Walgreen's and the mall lol. Then while I was in American Eagle, lamenting the current fashion situation, my dad called me and told me to come home in half an hour so we could go to the bank.
A long time ago my mom bought us each a 1 oz. gold coin as an *investment* or whatever and apparently the price of gold is at an all-time high right now since the dollar sucks so hard internationally, according to my dad, but that didn't even make sense to me since America is no longer on the gold standard! lol econ 199. Anyway, he wants me to take the coins to a gold exchange tomorrow in the south side and sell them. I forgot that I become my dad's bitch by default whenever I'm home, oh well. I really don't mind doing it, but then he did something that...ugh, I really don't want to think about it. It just seems so morally repulsive but ultimately necessary, you know? Okay I'll let you be the judge:
Since I'm going to a gold exchange anyway, he wants me to take my grandmother's old school denture set to see what they're worth.
Even though I know it's not really in the same league, I can't help but be reminded of that scene in Schindler's List where they pull all the teeth out of the Jews' skulls and melt them down to get the fillings out. Her TEETH? REALLY? Are we that money-grubbing? I've never felt so white.
So part of me wants to tell him to fuck off and do it himself, and part of me is too scared of being bored by giving up the opportunity for an adventure to the south side. Maybe I just need to get over myself. It's not like she needs them anymore anyway.
