The Awakening of Independent Women

I was Sibley Pascall. On my birthday, my mom bought me a Chanel bag I'd been longing for.

But my boyfriend, Gerald Geis, was furious when he saw the bag.

"You spent 10,000 dollars on a bag? My mom only makes 400 dollars a month. She'd have to work for two years to earn that much. Sibley, I can't believe how materialistic and spendthrift you are!"

"Return the bag! Save the money! I'll buy you one online. It'll only cost me a few bucks, and it even comes with free shipping. It's just a bag."

I was shocked.
