When a family decides to dine out, and the daughter has to answer a phone call, she returns to find that her parents and family have left her behind. Later, she finds out that they have gone to buy her cousin ice cream. The daughter is upset that her parents put her cousin’s wants above hers, and her parents and uncle’s family are mad at her for being upset. She wonders if she’s the a**hole for being mad.
