Wedding Day Prank Gone Wrong?
Our protagonist’s mom and wife have never been the best of friends, but on his wedding day, things took a turn for the worse. His mom ended up with a huge food coloring stain on her cheek, and the makeup artist – a friend of his wife – decided to play a prank by making her makeup super dark and orange. Mom ended up removing the makeup and going on with her day, but our hero only found out about the prank when his wife and her friends laughed about it at a dinner party. He called them out for their mean-girl behavior, but his wife accused him of being a mama’s boy and humiliating her. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
