idk why this made me think of the scene from Holes. "grandpa I don't want to abort this baby anymore.." "well thats just too damn bad!"

I don't know why but I always think of that scene in instances that it fits in.

11/10 joke man, I'm rolling over here picturing that. I watched that movie a lot growing up and always get a laugh out of the old man saying that if the movie comes to mind.

Shit I don't remember that from the movie, OR the book.

It's from the flashback when Sigourney Weaver's character is a little girl, digging holes with her insane grandfather. "Grandpa, I'm tired of diggin' these holes!" - "Well that's just too damn bad!"

My old man is savage enough to have retorted "I've got enough grandkids, I'll murder plenty for my kids' health!"

I'm so sorry your dad and you had to go through that, I hope you're both doing alright now.

Doing fine, thanks. Was many moons ago, and I knew they were wrong then too.
