Sisterly Quarrels---please answer in detail

Question

Alright. So I found an awesome special edition of Pride And Prejudice, and i was going to buy it. I put it on hold, and my mom was going to buy it for me while i was gone. I was going out of the country, and my sisters birthday was in a couple days, so i was going to buy her a present there. But, in case, I told my mom that if i did not find something, i would give her the book. I get home from my trip to find that not only did my mom buy Pride And Prejudice, but the whole Jane Austen Collection, IN SPECIAL EDITION!!! What I also come to find is that my mom assumed that i was going to give the book to my sister, and that she had been planning to give the others to her also. Is it wrong for me to be mad? Should I be feeling bad for the excrtutiating anger I have?

Answer 1

Maybe you need to look deeper into the reason why you want sole posession of this book. You could get a copy for yourself too, couldn't you? Your Mother might have jumped the gun, but hey it's not all that bad a situation to find yourself in. ;)
