His Sister Thought It Would Be “Funny” To Get His Best Friend A Comb For His Birthday, Even Though His Best Friend Is Undergoing Chemotherapy For Leukemia
This 18-year-old man’s sister, 17, is deeply in love with his best friend, 18.
Yesterday was his best friend’s birthday.
His sister wanted to buy a gift for his friend, and she apparently came up with a plan to get him a “‘funny present'” because she wanted to display her humorous side. She hoped that this would make his friend like her because she was hoping to be brave and ask him out sometime soon.
“She got him a comb, which she thought he’d find funny after his hair loss (leukemia patient going through chemotherapy),” he said.
He didn’t know that this was her idea until after she’d given his friend the comb.
Obviously, his friend didn’t find the comb the least bit humorous. While his friend didn’t break down in tears over it, he was clearly hurt and offended, understandably so.
Since this morning, his friend hasn’t spoken to his sister and won’t respond to her texts or answer the phone when she’s tried repeatedly calling him.
Now, his sister is panicking and doesn’t know what to do.
After he found out, he stopped talking to his sister last night, and his mother was upset about it.

“She told me, ‘Silence can be louder than words,’ and that I was being a bad brother by not helping her while she was distressed,” he explained.
While his mother acknowledged that his sister made a terrible decision, she shouldn’t be ignored by the two men who mean the most to her.
“My sister grumbled that she’ll go over to his house and ‘beat some sense into him’ until he talks to her,” he shared.
Since he didn’t know if she was kidding or if she was actually planning to go see his friend, he suggested that she tell his friend she was sorry. He added that she could confess her romantic feelings for him, too.
After he gave her that advice, his sister agreed that he was right. So, she’s planning to craft the kindest apology that she possibly can.
What would you have done if you were in his shoes? Do you think it was reasonable that he stopped talking to his sister after he found out about the gift she gave his best friend?
