A 17-year-old boy who works part-time at Pizza Hut drives up to park in front of the house in a beautiful Porsche. Naturally, his parents know that there’s no way he earned enough with his after-school job to buy such a car. “Where did you get that car?” his mom and dad screamed in shock. “I bought it today,” replied the teen calmly. “With what money young man?” his mom demands. “We know how much a Porsche costs and you cannot afford it!” “Well, it’s used and I got a good deal,” says the boy, “This one cost me 20 dollars.” “Who would sell a car like that for 20 dollars?!” “The woman up the street,” the boy replies. “I don’t know her name–she just moved in. She ordered a pizza and when I delivered it, she asked me if I wanted to buy a Porsche for 20 dollars.” The boy’s dad and mom hurry to their new neighbor’s house, ready to demand an explanation. Curiously, their new neighbor is calmly planting flowers in her front yard. “I’m the father of the kid you just sold a sports car to for $20,” the dad says. “I need an explanation from you!” “Well,” the woman says, not looking up from her garden. “This morning I got a phone call from my husband. I thought he was on a business trip in Florida, but it seems he has run off to Hawaii with his secretary and doesn’t intend to come back.” “What on earth does that have to do with selling our son a Porsche for $20?” The boy’s mom asks, utterly perplexed. The new neighbor smiles very big and pauses for a minute. “Well, my husband asked me to … continue reading below
AM I WRONG FOR LETTING PEOPLE KNOW THE REAL REASON I WASN’T AT MY DAD’S WEDDING? I’ve always been pretty close to my dad. A few years ago, he started dating Anna. Anna and I always got along, so when my dad proposed, I was happy. It seemed like she would be a great stepmom. I bought a dress, shoes, etc., to look decent at their wedding, but a few weeks before the ceremony, my dad and Anna said they banned me from it. They decided to have a child-free wedding, which includes no one under 18. On the day of the wedding, I was still going to be 17, so, therefore, I was not allowed to be at the wedding because Anna wanted to stay true to the child-free rule, even for the daughter of the groom and her about-to-be stepdaughter. The funny thing is my 18th birthday was just two days after the wedding. But still, I wasn’t allowed to go. My mom ended up taking me on a birthday vacation, and yesterday I posted birthday pictures on Facebook. I wrote, “I’m so glad my dad and Anna didn’t allow me at their wedding since I was under 18; I feel more mature since yesterday.” The family was freaking out, asking if that was true and bashing my dad and Anna. I later got a bunch of texts from my dad and Anna calling me immature and selfish and saying that’s why I was too immature to be at a wedding. I would like to know, am I wrong for letting people know the real reason I wasn’t at my dad’s wedding?🤔
A few years back, my daughter passed away, and I was just shattered. It was hard to keep going… My husband and I ended up living apart; the grief was too much. I lost my passion for everything, and the only thing I truly wanted was to become a mother again… So I decided to adopt. The agency arranged these initial meetings with different children, and I was filled with hope. One by one, I looked through the profiles until… I saw her. For a moment, my world stopped. In the photo was my daughter, just as I remembered her! I stared, hypnotized; the resemblance was incredible! In that instant, I grabbed the phone and scheduled a meeting… I was just trembling. Could this girl really be my daughter? Were these years a lie? But my thoughts scattered as Charlotte, or rather my Ava, walked in…👇
