Looking back, it was a stupid thing to get upset over. But at the time I didn’t fully understand that there was difference between what they wanted and what I thought they wanted.
“They” in this case was the Annual Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon and I wanted to make a donation but Mom refused even after I tried to explain to her. Looking back, I can see why she said no.
I wanted to make a donation at the time because I thought it would make me one of “Jerry’s Kids” too.
