Mom makes me wear a stupid outfit that I hate

“Oh good! You’re home!” Mom exclaimed as I walked through the door. “These kids are driving me crazy. Can you help?”

“Umm….....sure,” I sighed. Helping to take care of a bunch of six year olds hyped up on sugar was the last thing I needed at the moment.

“Great,” Mom said, “Here, put this on. It’s almost Easter and the children would just love it if you wore a festive outfit.”

She handed me a yellow shirt with ruffles on the sleeves, blue shorts that looked a size too small, and a hot pink head band with bunny ears attatched to it.

“Mom! You want me to wear this?!”

“Don’t start complaining now! Just go put it on!” she told me.

I went to my room and put on the so called “festive outfit”.

I felt like I was about to puke.

When I walked into the living room, Geena pointed at me and began laughing.
