MY SIL KICKED MY KIDS OUT OF HER HALLOWEEN PARTY TO ‘PUT ME IN MY PLACE’—I LET HER KNOW THAT SHE MESSED WITH THE WRONG MOM
This year, my SIL Isla invited us to her Halloween celebration at her husband’s sprawling estate. My husband, Dan, and I were thrilled. Our boys love superheroes, especially Superman, so we decided to go as a “Superman family.”
When we arrived at the party, Isla met us with a raised eyebrow. To our surprise, she, her husband, and their son were also dressed as the Superman family. “Oh,” she said with a tight smile. “TWO SUPERMAN FAMILIES WON’T WORK HERE. You’ll need to either go home and change, borrow our spare clothes, or… HEAD OUT.”
Our boys looked crushed, but instead of fighting, I took the family to spend the evening at a local Halloween festival.
But the next morning, my friend, who’d been at the party, told me she overheard Isla say, “Finally, I put that brat and her little brats in their place!” Her husband had laughed, replying, “WOW, SO YOU BOUGHT THE SAME COSTUMES ON PURPOSE JUST TO KICK YOUR BROTHER, HIS WIFE, and kids out of the party? You’re scary to mess with.”
Hearing this, I was furious. She dared to deprive my kids of the joy of spending time with their relatives. I wasn’t about to forgive this and planned to take my revenge! That very day, I went to the store.
When my wealthy SIL spotted us wearing matching Superman costumes at her lavish Halloween party, she kicked my family out to “avoid confusion.” Little did she know, her cruel power play would inspire the most epic public revenge her ritzy neighborhood had ever seen.
