The Scam Artist

It would be difficult to describe A's excitement when she learned she was going to the Taylor Swift concert called RED.

On the day she got the surprise tickets, her parents were wearing RED, they gave her RED licorice to eat, they were drinking RED soda, and they were taping her reaction.  When she saw the tickets poking out of the RED vines licorice package, A started screaming, dancing, yelling, laughing, crying, screaming some more.....this was a VERY BIG DEAL!

She had five days to "GET READY."

She fixed a shirt, made a sign, taped lights around her black pants....she was so ready to go....



We went to lunch on the BIG DAY, but she couldn't eat.  She was psyched to see her IDOL!

Her mom came home early from work; they headed out the door for dinner, and then they arrived at the arena with the expensive tickets.

That is when they learned the devastating news; FAKE TICKETS!

Honestly, they look so real to me...who would ever know?

How could someone do this?

How could anyone crush the tender feelings of a ten-year old?

(Later, it was learned that he had done this to others as well.  An angry mother is hot on his trail...well, maybe not hot, but she's after him!)

Oh, Mr Evil Man, your day will come.

I'm not a vindictive person.

But, where-ever you are, whoever you are, I do know this...what goes around DOES come around.  

Your turn will come and hopefully when it does, you will feel the sorrow you caused the broken-hearted girls in your scam.

(A was able to get in, thanks to a generous mom, but some of the others were not as fortunate.)
