I Became The Pariah Of The Family

Summary

I spent three hundred dollars on a brand-new phone for my mother, only for her to start saying that the smartphone was stealing her money and that I had personally siphoned off her bank balance.

I could never win the argument. So I offered to just reimburse whatever “loss” she imagined.

She got even more unhappy. She slapped a stack of receipts on the table and demanded I pay up.

“Where did you buy this piece of junk? It’s a ticking time bomb. Give me my money back!”

Most of the receipts were for men’s sneakers and athletic wear; the rest were household basics like brooms and hangers.
