Emily was appalled when she overheard her mother-in-law and husband plotting in hushed tones. Their plan to hide food from her because they thought she was “too fat” was deeply upsetting. Striving to put an end to this toxic behavior, Emily cleverly orchestrated a fitting revenge neither would anticipate.
“Honey, but you don’t want to live with an elephant, do you?” Noele’s voice rang from the kitchen.
I froze on the couch, my knitting needles suspended. Did I hear that correctly? My heart pounded as I strained to hear more.
“I don’t, but she’ll notice it and start asking questions,” my husband replied with uncertainty.
“Act clueless. I’ll remove all the food. I’m ashamed that my daughter-in-law is so large. She’s too fat,” Noele continued, her voice laced with contempt.
My heart felt as if it shattered into countless pieces. Three years ago, after having our son at 40, I struggled to regain my pre-pregnancy body.
I toiled long hours to support our family, even extending financial help to Noele when she needed it. How could she say such hurtful things about me?
Setting down my knitting, I stared at the wall, trying to process the conversation I had just overheard. Tears welled up, but I blinked them back. I didn’t want to break down now.
My phone buzzed, pulling me from my thoughts. I realized I had been sitting in a daze, replaying the events of the previous week when Noele had visited us.
Unbeknownst to me, the missing food was her doing. She had been stealthily clearing out the fridge, not wanting her son to be married to a “fat” woman.
Taking a deep breath, I checked the phone. It was a message from Alexander, my husband.
It read: “Hey honey, don’t wait up. My friends are insisting I stay a little longer :)”
Recently, he always seemed to have an excuse to stay out. I began to wonder if my weight was the reason. Did he really see me as an elephant?
For 25 years, a man has been living alone in a cave with his dog. Take a look inside the cave now!
Despite the conveniences that come with modern technology and its developments, I find it surprising that some people still use antiquated equipment.
Consider the 67-year-old guy who constructed this cave, demonstrating that aging was not a barrier to his ability to complete such a massive effort. With little money in hand, he toiled diligently on his project using simple home tools like a shovel and cart. Despite not having a formal education, he believes that people would recognize the quality of his craftsmanship.
When the man started excavating his cave in 1987, he had no idea that it would grow to be as well-known and popular as it is now, with a variety of artifacts hanging on its walls. Ra Paulet’s caverns are so beautiful that it is hard to put a value on them.
The man has so far finished 14 caverns and is working on his 15th, which he claims will be his best to yet. See the video below for more information.
