When Your Mom Actually Says Yes to Something You Want By: Scott McCord

For the First Time in Forever...

Everyone has an item that catches their eye. That one item they want with all their heart and they have eagle eyes on it. When you're at the store you figure this is your chance and you ask the boss. Mom. If you have strict parents you know what I’m talking about, but you think to yourself and just say “why not”. You ask your mom anyway even though you know she will say no but then the world stops, your eyes get big and your heart races. You see her mouth slowly move and the letters Y-E-S come out. Not waiting to see what she says next you scramble away thinking who is this woman what did she do with my mother and why is she being so nice to me as you grab the item and run back to your new favorite person. She scans the item and as you hear the satisfying beep you know your mission is complete when you hear the beep. Now it is time to chill with your new toy or junk food.

Some examples of what I have wanted and actually gotten are:

• Fruity Pebbles
• Cocoa Pebbles
• A tub of ice cream
• Electronics
• Candy

As you can see everything on this list is going to harm my body but WHATEVER it's fun to eat the food or play on the electronics but I take every last moment because it's so rare. As you walk out of the store you now have a new sense of pride and swagger but as you reach in the bag when you get in the car your mom says “ wait till we get home sweety”. I’m like bruh really I spent all time and energy and you gonna do this to me really mom really, but the wait is worth it because when you open the package it is a satisfying feeling that is

AWESOME!
