Ok peeps, I'll start from the beginning....last year my cousin, who has been a repeat offender since 15, gets locked up for drug dealing, gets 3 to 6. He was living with my grandmother and great-grandmother at the time. So my great-grandmother decides to get rid of his things because the guy is 35 and still hasn't learned his lesson, and basically burned his last bridge with the family. So my great-grandmother gives me his Kenneth Cole watch and his North Face coat...initially I felt bad, cuz at the time I wasn't working and I felt like I didn't earn it. My mom said I should give it back to her because we didn't know if he paid for the things legitimately or stole them or in a drug trade, and that when he gets out, he's gonna look for them. After much thought I figured I'd keep the coat and the watch, with the reasoning that with his time in jail, the last thing he'll be thinking about is his belongings. So fast forward to yesterday, I'm about a block from my grandmother's, and I see her and my mom on the street. I'm wearing the watch, btw, and my mom immediately started on the watch, telling me that my great-grandmother was wrong to give the watch to me, and my grandmother was telling her that my cousin doesn't need it where he's at. So we're all walking to the building, when my mom decides that she's gonna go home. I'm chasing mom down the block telling not to get mad, she says she's disappointed in me, I'm telling her it's not her call to make. Finally I take the watch off, dangle it in her face, and toss it into the nearest garbage can. But NOOOOO this doesn't satisfy her. She continues to cause drama in the street and finally I have to remind her that it's been four years since I've moved out and I'm 28 goddamn years old and yet she still tries to run my life. Then mom tells me to call her (which as of now I haven't). So what do you guys think? Was my mom putting her 2 cents where it didn't belong?
