"You're so ungrateful." "You don't appreciate me waking you up." You didn't have to. "You don't appreciate me making you lunch." I can do it instead. "You don't appreciate me driving you around. I should've made you walk." I just don't want to be an hour early. I'm just tired. "You don't even say thank you." There are so many things I wish I were allowed to say. I get out of the car. "You're welcome!" You drive off. Fast. All I did was forget my medication.
