sitting up all night Why should I be mad? I'm saying, at least he said goodbye this time. Ain't like I'm still 5 years old, you know? Ain't like I'll be sitting up every night asking my mom: "When's Daddy coming home?" You know? He wasn't there to teach me how to shoot my first basket, but I learned, didn't I? Got through my first date without him, right? I learned how to drive. I learned how to shave. I learned how to fight without him. I had 14 great birthdays without him. He never even sent me a damn card. To hell with him! I ain't need him then and I don't need him now.
