Rich Mom at Christmas School Fair Mocks Another Mom Who Works at Night — Story of the Day
A woman mocks the mom of another student who works at night at her daughter’s Christmas school fair, then she learns who the other woman really is.
“Now children,” said Miss Davis. “I want you all to talk to your moms about bringing goodies for the school Christmas Fair!” The whole class immediately started talking all at the same time and sticking their hands up in the air.
“Yes, Jenna,” said Miss Davis to a sweet pixie-faced girl in the front row. “What do you want to bring?”

“Cupcakes, Miss Davis,” Jenna cried eagerly. “My mom makes the BEST cupcakes in the world!”
Immediately another little girl gave a protesting howl. “But I was going to say cupcakes! It’s not fair!”
Miss Davis frowned. “Patty, Jenna spoke first, so…”
“But her mom NEVER comes to the school events or anything!” said Patty. “I’ll bet she won’t come to the Christmas Fair and we won’t have any cupcakes and they are my favorites.”
Jenna flushed and her eyes filled with tears. “My mom works at night, that’s why she can’t come to a lot of events,” she said. “But she promised she’d come to the Christmas Fair and bring cupcakes!”
“That’s settled then, Patty,” said Miss Davis firmly. “Jenna’s mom brings the cupcakes.” But if Miss Davis really thought it was settled, she was in for a big surprise.

That night, she got a phone call from Patty’s mom, and she wasn’t happy. “I do a lot for the school, Miss Davis!” Patty’s mom screamed. “I donated the money for the new library, I deserve some consideration…”
She had a lot more to say, and poor Miss Davis listened to her diatribe for another painful hour and finally said that since Patty’s mom wanted to bring cupcakes then she could. Both moms could bring cupcakes.
The day of the Christmas Fair was an exciting one for the children. There was a pageant, and a Santa’s village with elves and reindeer (they were really ponies with fake antlers but nobody cared.)
