Mia looked at the invitation. It was for the Fleur International Design Competition.

Startled, she asked Laura, “When did you do this, Grandma?”

Shelly strutted into the dining room and said casually, “Mia, that’s no ordinary competition. Considering how unskilled you are, you shouldn’t bother joining.

“You’ll just be embarrassing yourself. Don’t humiliate the entire Barrett family along with you.”

Laura immediately snapped, “Shelly, you didn’t even graduate from college, so keep quiet!”
