Who steals from their daughter? My stepmom did. She swiped $5K from my college fund for veneers.
For a perfect Hollywood smile.
But karma hit faster than a dental drill, leaving her with more regret than glam.
They say money can’t buy happiness, but my stepmom sure thought it could buy a million-dollar smile. The kicker?
She stole from my college fund (which was set up by my late mom) to install her veneers and acted like it wasn’t a big deal. But don’t worry!
Sit back, relax, and let me tell you about the day karma grew teeth and bit back.
I’m Kristen, your average 17-year-old with dreams bigger than my stepmom’s ego.
My mom passed away when I was young, but she left behind a college fund. It wasn’t huge, but it was a start to secure my future.
My dad, Bob, and I had been adding to it ever since, mostly from my part-time gigs tutoring kids who think “Pi” is something you eat with ice cream. And some babysitting, which paid me weekly.
Everything went well until, ta-da — enter Tracy, my stepmother and the human embodiment of a selfie stick.
This woman spends more time in front of the mirror than a mime pretending to be trapped in a box.
I swear, if vanity were an Olympic sport, Tracy would make Narcissus look like an amateur.
She’s so obsessed with appearances.
Her clothes, hair, and nails always have to be perfect. It’s like she’s trying to be a real-life Barbie.
(Sorry, Barbie!)
She spends hours in front of the mirror but never has time for anything that really matters, like, oh I don’t know, being a decent human. It’s like she’s got a mirror installed in her brain.
One fateful day, I came home to find Tracy grinning like she’d just won the lottery.
“Kristen, darling!” she chirped, her voice sweeter than a hummingbird’s diet.
“Guess what your amazing stepmom is going to do?”
I raised an eyebrow.
“Finally learn how to use the washing machine without flooding the laundry room?”
Tracy’s smile faltered for a microsecond before returning full force. “No, silly! I’m getting veneers!
Isn’t that fabulous?”
“Uh, congrats?” I muttered, wondering why this warranted a full-blown announcement.
“Oh, don’t look so glum!” she gushed.
“This is cause for celebration! And the best part?
I found a way to make it happen without breaking the bank.”
