A few weeks before christmas my parents put big, wrapped boxes under the tree. I was fascinated and spent so much time wondering and hoping for what could be inside them, trying to weight all the possibilities that my 10-year-old brain could come up with.
Then, the morning came and we started opening them. Inside the big box was another wrapped box. Then inside that, another, and another, and another.
In the end it was a small box that held a yearlong Disney pass. And yeah, that's an awesome gift, but I had been so looking forward to something big and exciting that the pass was a complete disappointment and made me run back to my room, crying because I didn't get what I want.
The rest of that year we all had a lot of fun going there every few weeks, but that initial unwrapping still stands out as a major first-world disappointment.

At least it didn't turn out to be socks in an Xbox container. Some parents are real shitty.

As a kid I used to dream about flying through nebulae, but then as I got older I realized that they are so spread out that you couldn't see the nebula itself from inside it :(

I feel you there man. And I was told right around my birthday so it made everything a lot harder. That was the worst 25th birthday ever.

The sex was definitely a downer.

When Pokemon, at the height of its popularity, lost to Rugrats at the Kid's Choice Awards. That's when I realized that the whole thing was a fix.

Finding out that my dad wouldn't let me go fishing with him because he was actually cheating on my mom instead @-@

At least now you know it wasn't because your dad didn't love you?
Seriously though, that sucks.
