When She Started to be Herself

I returned to my parents' home. My sister-in-law Lisa looked at the Louis Vuitton handbag I was carrying and asked, "Yasmin, this bag is a knockoff, right? How much did you pay for it?"

I said, "This is the Louis Vuitton I just bought. I spent thirty thousand dollars."

My brother Jack and his wife Lisa stared at me in disbelief. "What? Thirty thousand?"

Lisa's face turned cold. "It's not worth it!"

Jack looked at my mother angrily and said, "Mom, look at Yasmin. Our whole family is still living in one house, but she spent thirty thousand dollars on a bag."
