Although Amber\u2019s audacious retaliation became the talk of the town, not everyone thought her billboard was funny.<\/p>\n
There are benefits to residing in a charming suburban community in Texas. The light always seems to be shining just perfectly, the air smells like freshly cut grass, and the gardens\u2014oh, the gardens\u2014are breathtaking.<\/p>\n
The jewel in our street\u2019s crown was my mother\u2019s garden.She put everything she had into it\u2014planting every plant, tending to every flower, and painstakingly placing each garden accent. However, her joy and pride had recently been the object of some extremely thoughtless, sticky-fingered neighbors.<\/p>\n
By the way, my name is Amber, and this is my story about why I chose to take revenge on my mother\u2019s garden. Small-scale thefts were initially committed. One day a garden gnome went gone, the next a potted plant vanished. Mom initially believed she was going insane. \u201cPerhaps I lost it,\u201d she would murmur, her brow twisted in perplexity.But then, over night, whole plant bulbs began to disappear. The most detrimental aspect? Her beloved tulips, which she had spent years honing, were there. Mom was heartbroken, and I was enraged.The robbers even started carting stolen Mom\u2019s garden statuary! One of the stolen gnomes was her favorite, a little ceramic elf with a mischievous grin that seemed to bring the garden to life. And the plants, oh, the plants! Whole flowerbeds tramped over, roses stripped of their petals, young saplings removed and allowed to wither.It was more than just annoying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
