A Scent-less Comment

(My sister and I are six years apart. I am just making my way into the job market and am just getting by, whereas my sister is successful and well-off. I love her dearly and don’t hold this against her in anyway because I know she worked hard. I’m out shopping with a friend and find a bottle of perfume that my sister had brought back for me from a trip she bought and I was quite fond of.)

Me: “Oh, hey, look, I found [Perfume] that I love.” *getting sad* “I bet it’s expensive.”

Friend: *looking at price* “Not really; it’s only $6 a bottle.”

Me: “REALLY?! Awesome. I am definitely going to get some.”

Friend: “Wait… why are you so happy? Your sister got you a pretty crappy gift.”

Me: “It’s not crappy. I like it and I can afford it!”

Friend: *looks at me a little weirdly* “You like wearing crappy cheap perfume?”

Me: “[Friend], you have complimented me on how I smell before.”

Friend: *mutters*
