Savannah felt a surge of frustration every time her mom and sister snooped through her packages, breaking promises and boundaries. Determined to teach them a lesson, she devised a plan.
The doorbell rang, and Savannah received her latest package. Mom and Chloe’s eyes lit up. “Savannah, what did you get this time?” Mom asked.
“Please, don’t touch my packages,” Savannah replied firmly. They promised to stop, but Savannah found another opened package on her bed later, her patience wearing thin.
“Mom! Chloe! Get in here!” she yelled. They looked guilty. “Did you open this?”
“We’re sorry,” Mom said. “It won’t happen again.”
Frustrated, Savannah decided to take action. She prepared special packages and sent them to herself. When she got home, the first two had been opened and repacked. Mom and Chloe looked pale and nervous.
The third package arrived the next day, containing handcuffs, adhesive tape, a rope, and a book titled “How to Get Rid of People Who Open Your Packages.” Mom called, her voice shaky. “Honey, are you planning to do something to us?”
Savannah smirked. “We’ll talk at home,” she said. At home, Mom and Chloe looked terrified. “What’s wrong, Mom?” Savannah asked, amused.
Chloe held up the contents of the package. “Are you trying to get rid of us?”
Savannah laughed. “No, I needed to get your attention. You both have been invading my privacy nonstop.”
They apologized sincerely, promising to respect her space. From that day on, her packages remained untouched. They had finally learned their lesson.
