Selfishness Is Not Pretty

Earlier this year, we ordered Aden one of those Little Tykes (I think) cars -- you know, the red and yellow cars we've all seen before -- only it was a police car. We ordered it for his birthday, from points they give out at Richard's work, for good deeds or whatever. IE, the car was free.

Richard's mom thought the car was great, so she ordered one the same way (they work at the same place). She thought it would be great for the two grandbabies to enjoy at her house. Hers finally came, only it's a firetruck-style one. Very cool.

Richard's sister is a selfish b****, if you get me.

Seriously.

She saw the car, still in the box, at their parents house, and demanded she take it home for her daughter. DEMANDED. Let's get one thing straight here: Richard's sister is a lot better off financially than we, or even Richard's parents, are. She can easily go out and buy one. EASILY. Yet she demands this one.

And of course, being the sucker his mom is, she gave in, and the car is going to his sister's house. Real nice.

Richard's sister just wants it because Aden has one. Isn't that the most pathetic thing you've ever heard? And her daughter is VERY spoiled. She probably already has more outside toys than she knows what to do with ... adding yet another one makes no sense AT ALL. She'll probably play with it all of once before she's bored.

So instead of leaving an awesome toy at their mom's house, where BOTH grandkids can play with it, she's being selfish and taking it home where only her kid can play with it (Richard and his sister aren't speaking, so the cousins don't see each other). Oh, to clarify, we all live in the same town -- it would not be a hassle for his sister to simply take her daughter over there to play with it ... while still letting her nephew (who she loves) play with it too.

Now THAT is what I call selfish.
