Mother's Day Spent Well


I woke up eith a nudge from my sister. She had a satisfied look on her face; I KNEW IT! I thought, my sister had taken credit of those cup cakes we baked the day before!
I went to the living room and found out I was right. She did take credit! Oh well, I'll take credit next year. I said good morning tiredly; making sure that she is'nt expecting anything. I hate it when she has her hopes up and has it crashing down the floor because of me!
My dad was in Miami and he didnt call my mom. He was probably busy. I thought about that vignette that was wrapped neatly, and was also stashed under my bed. Nah, I thought. I never really liked those emotional things. But I guess I'll look bad with out a present. I mean, my sister gave her cupcakes!! That's as best as she gets.
I walked over to my bed after breakfats, pulled it out from under my bed and held it to my chest, walked to the end of the hallway, geve it to my mom. She looked surprised, but she smiled and gently tried to open the present (It was teared apart by me in the end) and she gasped when she saw the frame. She read it and breathed in,
"Aww! Mari!! You really should'nt have!! What website did you copy it off from??" she asked all interested. I gaped at her. She really thought that I will EVER copy something off a website.
"Mom! I WROTE it!! Dont you see my name at the top!!?" I almost screeched. My mom looked at me, then to the frame, she grinned even more than before.
"OOOOOH! I see!!! Aww! Thanks Mari!" she said with little puddles of tears in her eyes. Finally! I thought!
The rest of that Mother's Day wasnt much, I just spent most my time shopping with Yeji and Tiffany, nothing more.A simple and...awkward Mother's Day.
