I kept reminding my parents the things I wanted by bringing them up in conversations, but instead my parents use it against me. I ask for a camcorder, he gets me a toy camcorder. :3
Well I didn't know you were talking about your whole family. For my birthday I got from my parents two jeans and a shirt and my sister bought me bioshock2. that's all I got from my whole family and trust me I have a big family. From my relatives I got sixty dollars.
Ask for a jetpack then super-jump into your neighbour guns and spray them all with a NERF gun. Oh yeah, you'll be charged with breaking and entering and probably assault to boot, but damn - the look on his face would definitely be worth the jail time!
Money. That's all I ask for, I never really get anything from family anyway for my birthday, just piss off out the house so I can have a party and I'm happy.
