Oy, I like getting presents for my birthday as much as the next person, but... when your parents spend $100+ on clothes instead of getting you something that would fit in the same price range, something is messed up. For me, it was an electronic trigger frame for my Spyder Xtra. Lets weigh the options:
Electric Trigger Frame: $75
Grand total clothing price: $120
The "reasoning" behind the choice is that "You're going off to college [after this summer, when I get a job smart ones] soon, and that paintball stuff is just a waste of money"
