Then Jennifer learned that her father’s 25-year-old new wife had bought the exact same dress.
Jennifer asked her stepmother to return it and choose something else, since her mom had found hers first.
— No way! I look amazing in this dress, and I’m wearing it.
— Your mother will have to change hers.
Jennifer broke the news to her mother, expecting tears. Instead, her mom smiled calmly.
— Don’t worry, darling. I’ll find another dress. It’s your special day, and I won’t let this get in the way.
A few days later, they went shopping together. Her mother tried on almost a dozen dresses before finding a beautiful replacement dress.
At dinner afterward, Jennifer asked:
— When do you think you’ll return the other dress? You don’t really have another reason to wear it anytime soon.
Her mother smiled.
— Of course I do! I’m going to wear it for the rehearsal dinner the night before your wedding.
Did Jennifer’s mom handle this perfectly, or was it a little too clever? Share it with someone who appreciates quiet revenge served with style 😄
