Revenge

In our family, there is a woman who we consider a terror. She is selfish,
spineless, and treats so many people with disrespect it's disgusting.
She tries so hard to get into everyone's business, and continually hurts other people
because of her own lack of self-esteem.
A few years ago when my grandmother was still alive, this woman (who we will call "Bertha" for privacy's sake) decided to harass my grandma about a subject that she had no reason to get into. My grandmother was one of the sweetest, kindest people you would ever talk to, and she would do anything for anyone. Bertha, one day, decided that there was a family heirloom that belonged to her and only her, that my grandmother happened to give to my aunt.
My great grandmother had given my grandmother a string of pearls that meant very much to her, and said directly to her "Now helen, give these to the granddaughters to wear on their wedding day." So my grandmother passed them on to my aunt, who was to pass them down to her daughter. Bertha decided that they were her pearls, and that she would take my sweet grandmother to court just to get them back. My grandmother was on a respirator, about 68, and
could barely get out of the house without an oxygen pack. Needless to say my father was downright furious. As revenge, he took the string of pearls to a jeweler and had them split into
bracelets, which he passed out to Bertha, my aunt, and my other aunt.
Bertha was furious, and refused to speak to my father after that. He was called a few choice words, which didnt really mean a thing to him, and then kicked out of their house.
To this day, the pearls are distributed to everyone evenly, just to shut dear Bertha up.
