0:00.0	My aunt gives me $500 for my $5,000 laptop.
0:05.0	When I refuse, she steps on it with her high heels.
0:09.0	My auntie and her three children came from Texas to visit us for the weekend.
0:14.0	I wasn't happy because her oldest son, who was 19, would always pick on me when I was younger.
0:19.0	It was the first time in ten years that she had visited.
0:23.0	She came into our house with her oldest son and a younger son, 12, and a younger daughter,
0:28.2	eight. I put on my best fake smile and said hi. I told the youngest that they can go upstairs and

1:23.2	this feels nice. Can I keep it? Um, absolutely not. I'll pay you. This is probably like $500.
1:30.9	This is actually a $5,000 laptop. I worked my butt off for this thing. I'm not just going to give it to you.
1:37.1	Charlie, I deserve it. I haven't seen you guys in 10 years and you don't even get me a gift.
1:42.6	Is that my fault? I don't think so. Well, since you
