    1. When I was 8 I did a lot of crafts for my AG my mom took my AG doll away and I managed to guilt trip her into giving me my doll back by saying that the doll was the inspiration of my creativity and refusing to do crafts for a couple days. I got my doll back but sometimes I feel bad for guilt tripping mom
