Daddy didn't give affection, and the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear.

There was a song from Pearl Jam called Jeremy that had this line:

Daddy didn't give affection, no
And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked
Oh, ruled his world

What they meant is that the mother neglected him because she didn't want to be seen in public with him.

I interpret this more like she neglected him bc she was only interested in dressing up.

It's a lyric from the song Jeremy by Pearl Jam.

I think you're right. Let's hope he doesn't speak in class today.
