Confession of an Imperfect Me #5

Here's my confession: I can be a TOTAL snot when I don't get my way.

Here's the story: So we are in Chicago shopping specifically for shoes at Nordstrom's rack. I found my darling Black and White Jessica Simpsons and then my sister came over and was looking around. She went to the 8's instead of the 7.5's and found another darling pair of Jessica Simpsons that I felt like I just had to have. I didn't care that she found them first, I wanted them.
She let me try them on but told me to give them right back and started telling me how much she loved them. I was trying to stay cool and casually said, "K but if you decide you don't want them, I'm going to buy them." She hung on to those puppies in a death grip and wouldn't put them down for anything. Finally when we were in the checkout line I got a little desperate and here is where the snottiness came in, I started telling her things like, "Your feet are too fat for them," and "You are going to be taller than Steve in those." I probably said a few more things that were just about as nice and she still bought them. GRRRRRRR. I was so mad because I thought she was being a selfish snot because she could tell that I wanted them so bad (and she has a million pairs of shoes) and she was ticked because I WAS being a huge snot and not getting my way. I was so mad I even called Daniel to tell him about it and what made it worse was that after she had bought them she said, "If I decide I don't like them, I'll let you buy them from me." BIG HUFF. I text Daniel, "She just said if she decides she doesn't want them then I can have them. That just tells you she doesn't like them that much in the first place." I WAS SO MAD!!! Anyway, I kind of got over it, kind of, until she asked me to take them back to Utah for her from Chicago cause she was staying a few more days with her best friend Lindy. "How dare she ask me that," I was thinking to myself, another BIG HUFF. They got back to Utah safely and I contemplated just hiding them from her and taking them back to Oklahoma but I refrained, it was hard, but I did it.

Anyway on my birthday I get a package from my sister and you'll never guess what was in it....yep, the shoes!! She had purchased them for me for my birthday and had the whole thing planned all along. I called her and told her she was a dirty rat and we laughed until we were both crying as we reminisced about what a SNOT I really was that day. The best part of the whole story though is that I made her put them on for this picture...
and she said it hurt her foot so bad she wanted to cry because her feet are so wide! Serves her right for tricking me. Thanks again sis, I love you!!! Sorry I was such a snot!

This kind of reminds me of some other stories of the kind while you two were growing up. I love the fact that you two love each other so much.
