Who steals from their own daughter? Well, my stepmom did—$5,000 from my college fund for her fancy veneers! Can you believe it? She thought a Hollywood smile would fix everything, but karma caught up with her quicker than a dentist’s drill.
I’m Kristen, just a regular 17-year-old with big dreams. My mom passed away when I was young, but she left behind a college fund to help secure my future. Dad and I worked hard, adding to it over the years. Enter Tracy, my stepmom—more obsessed with her appearance than a runway model.
One day, she announced she was getting veneers and casually mentioned she used my college fund to pay for them. Furious, I confronted her, but she brushed it off, claiming it was no big deal because “we’re family.”
My dad was just as shocked as I was. A few weeks later, Tracy flaunted her new smile, even mocking my teeth. But during a BBQ, karma struck—she bit into corn on the cob, and one of her veneers cracked! Turns out, she cheaped out, and now she’d have to pay more to fix the mess.
Dad finally stood up to her, demanding she repay every penny she stole from my fund. Tracy, humiliated and toothless, couldn’t argue. My dad worked extra hours to rebuild my college fund, and Tracy learned the hard way that money can’t buy happiness—or a lasting smile.
Now, I have a priceless story, and maybe one day, I’ll turn it into a memoir: “From Fangs to Fortune.”
