It's not that I don't want to get the gift.
I know you love me.
I know you try to understand.
But please. Don't push me.
Don't antagonize me.
Don't ask me rhetorical questions, to which you've already decided the answer.

I know you mean well.
I know you want to lay the right bricks to a solid foundation.
But please. Let me do it on my own, in my own stride.
