“But, you bought a witches costume last year
sweety! Do you really want to buy another one? I still
have it in the basement if you want me to get it! You
haven’t grown much in the past year.â€?
“Mom! Don’t be silly! I’m not getting it for me!
I’m getting it for Lilly.â€? Lilly was Ella’s younger
cousen. Although Ella hated liying, she was getting
pretty good at it.
“Well, in that case!â€? Ella’s mom gratefully
handed a 50 dollar bill to her. “ Just in case you
need some snacks along the way.� Ella jumped up.
“Thanks so much mom!â€? Her mom gave her a suspicious smile. “I’ll definitely buy Lilly the best costume ever!â€? Her mother’s smile remained the same. Not once had Ella offered anything to Lilly before, even with her perfect reputation as a goog daughtor. “And! I’ll… buy a brand new bikini for when we go to the beach!â€?
