When my stepmother stole my late Mom’s necklace and wore it at her wedding without my consent, I was shattered. Furious, I did something that left everyone gasping.
I’m Olive, 23. This isn’t a sob story, but it’s about a necklace. My late Mom’s necklace, the only thing left of her. I lost her to cancer when I was 19. She was my rock, my confidante, my everything.
Dad introduced his new fiancée, Magdalene, who immediately coveted Mom’s necklace. “Olive, honey,” Dad started, “Magdalene really admires your mother’s necklace. She says it would look perfect with her wedding dress.” I was furious. “Dad, that necklace is everything to me. It’s Mom’s.” But he insisted, and I had to hide it.
On their wedding day, I stayed home and checked on the necklace, only to find it gone. I knew who had taken it. I called Magdalene. “You took it,” I accused her. “How dare you take my Mom’s necklace without my permission?” She brushed me off, saying she’d return it after the honeymoon.
I called the cops. At the wedding, they retrieved the necklace from Magdalene, causing chaos. Dad and Magdalene were furious. “You ruined our wedding!” she screamed. Dad added, “That was petty and crazy, Olive. You humiliated us!”
Heartbroken but resolute, I moved out, taking Mom’s memories and her necklace with me. Though the pain lingered, I emerged stronger, holding on to the love and memories of my Mom.
These Fifth Grade Boys Give A Hilarious Performance At Their School Talent Show
It’s amazing to watch youngsters perform in school talent shows, whether they’re acting, singing, dancing, or showcasing another talent. While it’s true that all contestants should be commended for taking the stage and giving it their all in front of their peers, every now and then you’ll see a performance that truly hits the mark, showcasing inventiveness that beyond the competitors’ age range.
This was the performance that four Texas fifth graders from New Braunfels Christian Academy put on for the Elementary Talent Show in 2017. The students covered themselves with a black cloth at the beginning of their performance in order to keep it secret all the way through. The fabric was torn away, revealing the boys’ baby clothes, replete with little prosthetic legs they could move about with their arms. The audience immediately exploded into laughter, and that was only the start.The audience was even more delighted with what came next: the boys donned their suits and danced brilliantly and imaginatively to a number of hit songs. The opening song, Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off,” had the males dancing and miming with enthusiasm. The crowd’s favorite was Carl Douglas’s “Kung Fu Fighting,” when the four dancers in suits displayed their kung fu skills to cheers and applause.
