Sundae Best | pump shoes, cream, banana story

Tina loves her parents very much and has always had a good upbringing. However, being an only child, she seems to be spoiled by them. Though her parents earn a modest income, her mother particularly seems to fuss over her and buys her many things. “Tina, you are my little princess!” Her mother would say that from time-to-time throughout her childhood and into her teen years. Tina always had good behavior and has good friends but they as well as she realize that her mother is a bit overbearing at times.

Tina’s mother has such an influence over her that she seems to control the friends she could see as well as boys she could date. The thing that really disturbs Tina the most is her mother meddling in her wardrobe and what she thought was proper to wear and what was not. Tina could hardly ever wear blue jeans and when it came to shoes, no heels higher than 3 ?” her mother would say to her. Her mother thought that extremely high heels were tramp shoes and not proper.

One Sunday Tina’s parents decided to go to see aunt Betsy and of course Tina was pressured to go with her them. “We are going to see your aunt Betsy this afternoon right after we our religious obligation at the 12:00 noon mass and your aunt would love to see you my dear,” Tina’s mother said. She then said to Tina, “Wear something nice like your red dress and black patent pumps.” “Oh mom, you are always dressing me and I am eighteen years old!” Tina replied.

Later Tina said to her parents, “My patent pumps are a little scuffed, do I have to wear them?” “Oh yes Tina, her mother said. “Real patent leather holds up well and can be polished so you can give them to your father to look at them.” She then gave the patent pumps to her father to buff them and he returned moments later with them polished and ready. “Here you go sweetheart, better than new,” he replied. Tina thought I now have to make the most of a boring afternoon ahead of me!

Tina and her parents went and visited aunt Betsy for the afternoon and later took her out to dinner. Aunt Betsy said to Tina, “Your such a beautiful girl and have grown into quite a charming young lady!” Tina replied in a somewhat sarcastic tone of voice but with a smile, “I am always in my Sunday best!”

That evening when Tina and her parents return home, there was a message on the answering machine for Tina. It was her girlfriend Karen working the evening shift at the ice cream shop and she wanted Tina to come and see her on the job. Tina knew the ice cream parlor closes earlier on a Sunday night but by the time Tina received the message the parlor would close in less than a half an hour. Tina then said to her mom, “I am going to see Karen at the parlor.” Tina did not have time to change her clothing out of her dress and pumps so headed out the front door to see her friend. Tina’s mother said, “Have fun dear and be careful with your patent pumps, they are really for special occasions.”

Tina then arrived at the ice cream parlor as the last customer was leaving who held the door open for her as she walked in. She then saw Karen preparing to close up shop alone and said to Karen, “Hey, had a busy night?” A surprised Karen replied, “Yea for a Sunday and I was not sure you would have received my message before I closed.” Tina then said, “I just got back with the folks and we spent all afternoon with my aunt.” “You poor girl, it must have been real fun and my, you sure look dapper!” Karen stated as she looked at Tina from behind the ice cream counter and she turned off the neon open sign in the store window and locked the door.

Karen then came from behind the counter and examined Tina’s attire a bit closer and said, “WOW, you are really decked out, black patent heels and all!” Karen continued, “Your sure you were not dressed for a wedding or a prom, HA, HA!” Tina then said, “Yea, ha, ha, bite me! Besides you know my mom!” Karen said jokingly, “Yes, little miss conservative, I know how your mom is.” Tina then replied, “By the time we got home, I did not have time to change into something less formal, to see you, so there!”

Tina said to Karen, “I love my folks but my mom treats me like a child sometimes and I just want to be me.” Karen replied, “Maybe so Tina but you are always dressed so nice.” Tina then said, “It always seems that she is more concerned with what I wear and how I take care of things.” “What do you mean Tina, you are always immaculate?” Karen stated. Tina replied, “That is my point, take these shoes for example, I noticed small scuff on them this morning and my mom made my dad polish them before we left the house.” “Yea so, I wish someone would clean and polish my shoes,” Karen replied. Tina then stated, “The point is she wants me all dressed up as her baby doll and she seemed more concern that I would scuff the shoes again or something worse!” Tina was glancing at her shoes together lifting both her legs level to the booth she was sitting in.

Karen commented on how pretty Tina’s shoes are. All the time Tina was thinking of a way to get back at her mom somehow for dressing her up all the time. Tina also mentioned to Karen how she thought that her mother was an overall hindrance to her and it cannot be healthy or good for one’s self esteem.

Karen was behind the counter again holding some bananas as she planned to put them away. Tina suddenly had an idea and said, “Karen, make me a banana split please.” Karen replied, “You want a banana split, since when?” “You have never wanted one before, they are big for little ole you and I thought you don’t like bananas?” Tina then replied, “I want a banana split boat with the works and bring me a plastic trash bag or two!” A Confused Karen honored Tina’s request.

Tina then set the white trash bags down flat on the center isle floor in front of her booth and then set the banana split ice cream sundae still in the boat in the middle of the bags. She then said to an even more confused Karen, “I could get a little messy with this and that is why I wanted to cover the floor.” Tina started to slowly poke at the sweet contents of the boat by wearing the pretty black patent pumps!

Karen said, “Tina, what are you doing and have you lost your mind?” Tina told Karen she had just found a small way of getting back at her mother for having to tolerate the outfits and shoes she always has to wear plus, her mom would never have to know! Karen, still astounded, watched Tina step into the banana split sundae on the floor one shoe at a time finally capsizing the boat!

Tina started to mash the ice cream sundae with both high heel on as well as crushing the bananas until the pretty pumps were good and messy!

Tina then took off her left shoe and filled it with much of the remains of the sundae! What a gorgeously, sweet, messy shoe sight and if my mother could see me now she thought!

Tina said, “I feel so good, like a real rebel!” Karen said, “I think you are mad but if you say so!” Tina still had to explain to Karen that the simple event really relieved a lot of her own frustrations with her mother and that she would just wash her shoes in the sink in the back of the store and they will be clean as new. Karen then suggested jokingly of putting the pumps through the rinse cycle in the small dishwasher in back as well. “Now that sounds like a great idea, they should hold up well I have been told!” Tina finally replied
