Mom Is A Control Freak

Story Time Animated
About this episode

Hello, I’m Neenah from Arizona. 

My mom died when I was just a baby and my very protective dad worked very hard to provide for me. 

On my 5th birthday, he dressed up as my favorite Disney princess and when my friends made fun of him, he blew glitter in their faces. It was perfect! I was Daddy’s Little Girl, and because of him I got really into sports. At school, I was captain of the wrestling team and no one dared mess with me…well except for the cheerleaders and their captain Jenny who kept making fun of me for looking like a boy. 

“Well, well, well. If it isn’t the captain of the boys’ club!” 

“Get… Out of the way… Jenny! This… is …not the time to …make fun of me!” 

I was so out of breath because I was carrying seats to the gymnasium for an upcoming event. 

As I walked past Jenny, she tripped me and I fell. 

I tried to get up but my knee was all scraped and bleeding. Jenny and her cheerleader barbies were busy laughing when a girl walked up to them and threw a hard punch right at Jenny's perfect nose.

"Ouch! Who are you?"

The new girl stood toe to toe with Jenny, staring her down.
