Revenge

From a young age my mother taught me that sometimes the best way to get back at somebody for being evil to you is to be ridiculously sweet to that person. I know it sounds kind of strange but what can irritate you more than somebody you hate giving you a big hug and telling you how beautiful you are? Almost nothing!! It took me awhile to master this skill but as I got older I became kind of good at being really sweet to people I don’t like. In fact chances are if I was mean to you it means I really like you.

I first realized that this works with my sister. When she was being rude and grouchy I would change the words to her favorite songs to be about how amazing she is and how lucky I am to have such a beautiful big sister. She would always start screaming at me, which of course would result in her getting in big trouble because after all I was just trying to cheer her up. I would then walk away with a smirk on my face knowing that I had gotten the ultimate revenge!

All this brings me to my point; I would like to congratulate the state of Utah on a game well played!! Not only did you get me to take back all the mean things I said about you, but just when I started to like you, you hit me with your revenge. And of course you knew who you were messing with so you couldn’t just do something small and evil to remind me, you had to go big.

All I have to say is, Utah you won!! Congratulations! Now please, PLEASE take back these stupid allergies! They are the worst things in the world! I can’t work because my eyes are itching so bad, I can’t sleep because I’m sneezing so much and I can’t eat because my throat is burning. I get it, you hate me too. Now that we are even if we could just be civilized for the next few months that would be great!!

HA!! I knew life in Utah couldn't be as perfect as you said. Are you coming home now?

Last night when I was complaining about cats, you told me to suck it up and buy some allergy pills. Let me throw some words back to you - suck it up and buy some allergy pills!

Love,

The big sister who you didn't get your revenge on!
