#84 the op never said anything about expecting a computer

Wow not surprising that you are annoyed. I cant believe your parents didnt buy you a gift. It really is insane. Lol, you must be kidding do you really need a gift at this age. grow up

your parents are trying to be funny, at your expience yeah FYL dude

wtf...i meant #83

So #83, you expect an expensive macAir when you graduate from 8th grade (which is nothing compared to college), but an apple when you complete 4 years of kick-ass work? I don't think so. After 4 years of hard work, you deserve something more valuable. Even if that means dinner with your family. And yeah go get a job.

no, this is funny because an apple is such a small gift that OP's parents probably would have been better off with just a verbal "congratulations." there's nothing selfish or spoiled about thinking that a piece of fruit is a lame present, because it is. it doesn't mean you aren't grateful for support.

Just out of curiosity – what makes you think you DESERVE a gift? Be grateful they came and acknowledged your accomplishment instead of being greedy and materialistic.

Maybe you will just ill-specific when you said that you wanted an apple. Seriously, it's an apple. They're red (or green or yellow) and full of delicious goodness. Eat it and get on with your life. Why not go out to dinner with your parents or something? Besides, at least you graduated. Some parents (like mine!) don't even acknowledge the fact and just say "Oh. Well ... Good for you." So, hey! You got lunch at least.

What did you go to school for? Farming? Or teaching?

i lol'd.
