Another Perspective of Everyday Use by Lindsay Bonacci

"I should have expected such a visit like that payed from my sister Dee" Maggie said with anger. "Why, whats wrong?" asked Maggie's husband, John Thomas. "She just always gets under my skin. Growing up she never failed to get exactly what she wanted. She still thinks she can get what she wants up to this day!" Maggie stated, looking at John as if she was looking for some kind of support. "Maggie, just calm down. Don't get all worked up. Tell me what happened when she came to visit."

"Well," said Maggie calmly "She arrived with her husband, Hakim-a-barber, who wouldn't eat any of the food mama made which was very strange and rude. Then, she spotted the two quilts that i have been longing to have since i was little, and told mama she'd take them! I was so mad and upset. SHE GETS EVERYTHING!" Maggie screamed. "Don't let your sister bring you down Maggie! Did she get the quilts?" John asked concerned. "No, Mama eventually handed them over to me because of her promise. She promised me she would give the quilts to me when i married you. But who knows what of would happened if she hadn't made that promise." Maggie said. "Well, at least you got your quilts and its over with. You shouldn't hold a grudge against your sister. Even though your angry with her, she is still your sister and always will be." John told Maggie. "Your right. Its really not fun to be always fighting with someone," said Maggie "I think ill call her."
