I can't remember when exactly,
But I'm pretty sure it was quite early,
That you started spoiling me.
The first time I remember it,
I was fairly young,
Maybe three or four years old.
I remember running up to you one miserable day,
Looking for comfort.
You hit me in the face!
I was stunned, shocked, gob-smacked.
You had never hit me before?
I did not know what had happened.
It took a while for the pain to register-
I started crying-
And you just laughed.
That was the first time
You ever spoiled me.
but it wasn't the last-
-By far.
