Okay, so while I was watching T.V. a few years ago (2003-ish), there was a music video playing, where there was a kid who hated his mom, and did bad things like steal some of her money and write a card to her that said "I hate you" in every page. I remember the mom read the I Hate You card and halfway through, she became frustrated and started ripping it apart. I think the mom had an unusual hair color as well... green, I think. And so, eventually on Mother's Day, the kid writes another card apologizing for everything he did, promising to be a better son, but when the mother reads it, she just leaves. Then it cuts to present time with the singer digging a hole, singing something along the lines of "I'm sorry, ma". It's been at the back of my head for a while now.. Anyone know it?
