Lot of people saying it's self-explanatory and straightforward, I'm not so sure it is.
I don't know if it's just me but every time I've heard this song I've thought "I wonder what really happened?". Is Kurt being deliberately evasive and choosing not to mention something genuinely significant that happened at his grandparents' house that day, instead focusing on mundane details like what he had for dinner? Did one of them die, or do something they shouldn't have, or was it the day his parent's split up?
The song intrigues me because of what it DOESN'T say, especially in the time between him falling asleep and waking in his mother's arms. It leaves me puzzled and curious, and the effect is probably greater than it would be if he had explicitly explained it in the lyrics.
Then again, it might just be about him being fed up at his grandparents' house.
