Mom was trying to get me to wear a HORRIBLE PINK dress and wouldn't let me leave until she saw me in it. I complained about the dress.

"It's NOT black or purple."

Mom: Neither color is acceptable for a dress. Now go to your room and at least try it on.

"It's DISGUSTING!

Mom: Sam, it's beautiful.

I growled silently and went to my room with the thing in tow.

"It's still disgusting!

Mom: No, it's not.

I spotted a pair of scissors and grinned. Not yet, but it WILL be soon.

"Fine, but you won't like the results!"
