Doh!

So today my mam was in town and was talking to a woman we both know and the woman, without realising it, was telling my mam a story and I was the leading lady in this story of how I "devastated my ex by leaving him" and that I was "a beautiful looking girl but looks can be deceiving" and that I was a "total bitch".  Sweet baby Jesus my mam nearly keeled over with the shock.  She was so flumoxed she just turned on her heels and walked off.  Of course as she was walking away from the woman, she was already regretting not telling her who she was and sticking up for me.  I'm thrilled she didn't.  At the end of the day, who is this woman?  She's someone I know but don't care about so her feelings don't concern me.  My sisters and boyfriend were all so annoyed but not me.  Y'see I know I'm not a bitch.  I know what happened between myself and my ex as does he. This woman, doesn't!  She makes an assumption about what happened and formed an opinion.  She's entitled to do this.  She can share her opinion with everybody and there is nothing I can do about it. In my twenties, this would have bothered me but now, in my thirties all I can say is.....meh!!   Oh, and thanks for the compliment!
