27. Drama Queen
My favorite cousin has three kids and her oldest is an absolute drama queen. For several years she was an only child and everyone considered her the golden child. Then she got a brother and sister and she stopped being the center of attention and it was killing her. So Christmas rolls around the year her youngest sibling was born. The baby was adorable and everyone fell in love with her.
Well, the oldest couldn’t handle it and she pushed the Christmas tree over, which shattered several of our grandmother’s very expensive ornaments. Grandma had a special way she did the tree. She’d put all of the expensive and rare or old ornaments up at the top where the little kids couldn’t reach and then the bottom of the tree would be the cheap plastic ornaments and paper chains, popcorn chains and cranberries on a string.
The tree ended up knocking several photos off the wall, crushed a couple of presents, landed on great grandma who was asleep in the arm chair in the corner. She had tiny vertical cuts on her cheeks that never fully healed. To add insult to literal injury the kid started jumping on the presents.
She literally destroyed Christmas.
