Birthdays are supposed to be a time of celebration, but for one 19-year-old, it’s become a dreaded event. Every year, her mom insists on playing a video during her birthday party, but it’s not just any video – it’s a clip of her younger sister ruining her 11th birthday. Despite her pleas to stop the tradition, her mom continues to play the video, leading to an explosive confrontation at her most recent party.
