My husband gave me a rag for our 10th wedding anniversary while his sister laughed – Moments later, karma hit – STORY OF THE DAY
He handed me a box, I smiled, opened it, and inside was… a rag. His sister burst into hysterical laughter, almost choking. The guests gasped in disbelief. My heart sank. Did he really see me as just his maid?
Lauren was needy, greedy, and demanding. She loved to interfere with everyone’s business and often gave suggestions and made remarks that drove Mary crazy, but she never said anything just because she was John’s sister.
As the night proceeded and everyone had a lot of fun, John asked the guests for their attention. He raised a toast and handed his wife a box wrapped in a huge red bow. Mary was eager to open it, but to her surprise, there was a rag inside. She was left in shock and barely said, “What’s this Jon, is this a joke?”
As everyone was looking at Mary and her reaction, Lauren started laughing uncontrollably, commenting out loud that her brother finally came to his senses and brought the right gift for his stay-at-home wife. She also mentioned that she received an expensive bracelet from John for her birthday, the one she was proudly wearing at that moment.
John smiled as well and told Mary that it was just a little prank his sister convinced him to pull on her, believing the guests would find it fun. He said the real gift will arrive later that night.
Mary was furious. She felt humiliated and wanted the night to be over as soon as possible, especially because of Lauren’s words and John’s inability to confront his sister for her lousy behavior.
In order not to make a scene, she placed the rag on the floor and acted as though nothing had happened.
Lauren on the other hand, kept asking everyone if they liked what her brother bought Mary and wouldn’t let go on the subject.
Moments later, Lauren, who was still laughing, slipped on the rug and fell on the ground, breaking her bracelet and ripping her dress.
Some of the guests started laughing, and Lauren decided to leave the party. As she was getting to leave, the door bell rang. Mary’s real present arrived. It was a diamond bracelet.
Karma really work in mysterious ways.
