Hi everyone, I didn’t plan to share this, but after last week’s events, I have to. I’m Audrey, a 25-year-old who had to step up in an unexpected situation. You’ll want to hear this story!
For some background: my mom is the sweetest person, known for her kindness. She used to have a great job but had to leave due to cancer treatment. Now in remission, she found work as a waitress to help cover the bills, always smiling, no matter how hard things get.
Growing up, it was just Mom and me, supporting each other and making memories. Her resilience has always inspired me, even when times were tough.
Enter Karen, a regular at the café where Mom works, who seemed to make it her mission to belittle and criticize her. I witnessed firsthand her rude behavior and constant complaints.
One day, Karen went too far, throwing coffee at my mom and leaving her in tears. It was then Mom revealed that Karen had held a grudge since high school when my dad chose her over Karen.
So, I took matters into my own hands, crafting a plan to teach Karen a lesson.
Through a fake influencer account, I tricked her into a canceled spa day, and sent her sticky, glittery “beauty products.” Finally, I confronted Karen directly, letting her know her actions were shameful.
Mom wasn’t thrilled with my methods but appreciated the support. In the end, Karen got a taste of her own medicine, and my mom continues to inspire me daily.
