Mom said she hated money-wasters. During summer vacation, Mom signed my older sister up for expensive piano lessons while I stayed quietly in my room doing my homework. When school started, my sister got a new uniform while I dutifully wore her hand-me-downs. Then one day, the midterm results came out. When Mom saw my perfect score sheet, she offered to fulfill one wish for me on my birthday this year. Trembling with excitement, I grabbed Mom's hand and led her to the supermarket shelf displaying a sign that read "3 for 20 dollars." After that, I asked timidly, "Mom, can you buy me a bra?" The next thing I knew, Mom slapped me across the face. Before the stinging pain registered, Mom began scolding me viciously. "You little beast! You're still so young, yet you're hankering after a bra? You must be trying to seduce men, aren't you?"
