When I was 11, my mom brought a girl home to spend the night with me

Apparently the girl was the daughter of a friend of hers, and my mom had offered to take her for the night so the friend could go out. The girl was older than me by a couple of years. Her name was Valerie.

I had never met her before but I was happy to have a new sleepover friend. But I remember when Valerie first entered my bedroom, she looked at my clothes, then looked around all wide-eyed and asked, "Are you rich?" 🫪

It completely caught me off guard. I lived in a small 2 bdrm 1 bath house. Nothing special at all. But it was nicely decorated, because my mom had a knack for decorating. That's my only guess as to why she'd ask if I was rich. 🤷🏻‍♀

It makes me wonder what her own house looked like. 😞
