I decided, upon reading Mich's post, to post my compo plot here. (And yes, I haven't eaten.)

COMPO:

-Wants bike- very very expensive one at that

-Birthday starts out very nicely: woken up to the voices of HAPPY BIRTHDAY song and parents woke up early to cook your favourite breakfast

-Turns around: in comparison, got a small little package

-Mum urges me to open ; I open it like a slow-motion film with the ribbons falling, the package opening, and the revealing of an adidas jacket

-"I wanted a BIKE." *steely voice

-Mum is heartbroken and runs out room

-DAD: "That cost money, you know! We aren't filthy rich!" *runs out

-Brothers: *stare, aghast*

-Routinely ignores parents whenever i remember the present

-Neglects present; stuffs it right at the back and bottom of the drawer

-*present-day* reads article about poor african children, orphans (no racism intended, was inspired by american idol which was promoting donating to help african orphans or something) not having enough money to buy clothes, let alone jackets

-takes out jacket. wears it. *feels remorseful

-tells mum: "LOOK WHAT I'M WEARING"

-mum: *tears spill "I thought you hated it. why wear something you hate?"

-apologizes, hugs mum, tells her, MUM, I LOVE YOU! :)))

-Mum: "thank you. i needed to hear that... y-y-you look wonderful in the jacket."

-never forget incident, love jacket, never break parents' heart ever again

-DE END

i wonder why mothers are usually involved in these kinds of stories and never the fathers?? (well, maybe for girls)
