When I was 16 I remember my mother giving me some money to go and pay our power bill. Instead, I bought some raffle tickets for a chance to win a new truck. I told her when I got home and she beat TF outta my ass. But the next morning in the driveway sat a brand new truck. We held each other as tears dropped down our face, especially me cause it was the truck from the Power Company there to turn off the lights and she beat my ass again.
