She was 75 years old and from New Orleans. Elis had always been known for being brave and daring. It was a sunny morning, so she chose to get a tattoo. It would make her feel young and alive again. She happily wore a delicate design on her arm that showed how strong she was and how much she loved life.
Not everyone liked Elis’s new tattoo, though. Her daughter and son-in-law were shocked and didn’t like it when she showed it to them. It made them laugh, and they called her a “rebellious teenager” and said the tattoo looked stupid on someone her age. Their response hurt Elis and made her feel bad about herself.
But Elis didn’t like to just sit back and do nothing. Her daughter had always been there for her son-in-law, so she chose to teach him a lesson he would never forget. Elis came up with a smart way to get back at her son-in-law for being lazy and unmotivated. It would be both embarrassing and teachable.
