Hi, y'all. It happened again, I think. I opened my mouth and now something I've said has been misconstrued. I was at a sporting event where an "athlete" messed up on an important element, anger rose, and she said "******". That's what I interpreted her to say as well as the others around me who gasped and snickered. Well, the mom of this athlete ran into me in the hallway with her friend and said how she was angry at the fact that her daughter athlete showed anger in front of everyone. Well, I opened my mouth and inserted foot and said something like, "Yeah, I think she said ******!" This mom so no, no, she said Shh. Well, I thought it was quite funny and didn't think anything of it. Well she tried calling my house 5 times last night by my caller ID. When I called her back, she said she wanted to know who was spreading this rumor that her daughter said ******. I said I told her that I wasn't spreading any rumor and that I only talked to her about it. Well, she went on and on about how some other girl athlete was telling everyone that I told her about the swearing and when I said I would confront this girl today when I saw her, the mom quickly said that it was me or some other lady that this girl couldn't remember which. I was so infuriated because I had a hard day that day and I laid into saying that it was obvious her daughter swore and that anyone who told her they didn't see it was just lying about it to make her feel better. SHe was sitting amongst her friends and they probably didn't want to say anything whereas I was sitting in a different section with people who didn't know her. I said everyone around me "gasped in horror" after it was uttered (which they did). Now, I'm afriad when I see all these other parents today, that someone is going to bring it up. What should I do? I hung up on her as she kept pressing the issue on the phone and I shouted that her daughter did swear, get over it, and blah blah blah.

I'm thnking she should apologize to me for even suggesting this thing. It was very obvious her daughter said this. She asid her daughter said she didn't and was crying all day yesterday. Well, that's not my problem. I haven't been spreading "rumors."

It's getting to thepoint that I don't even feel like talking to anyone because it seems people take things the wrong way or out of context or are justplain troublemakers. I really meant no harm as I just agreed with the mom that her daughter did show anger and that she said the sh word!
