That gets 'em every time....if you can stomach doing it! Just to stop the current tension, here's what I would do. I'd call that grumpy mom, and say, "Listen, perhaps I was wrong and misheard. The game WAS loud. It's obvious how much you love your daughter, and I'm sure this has been upsetting for both of you. I'm sorry if I had any part in that. I wish you both the best." The end!

That way, you come out looking like the good guy. And in the long run...who cares if she swore? It's just about making peace in the community now, and putting this behind you so you can relax and enjoy life. You did nothing wrong, the mom overreacted, but sometimes that's what mom's do! That get over-protective of their kids. The girl obviously isn't supposed to swear, so she's fibbing to mom. Tense household, no? Glad I'm not there. So you'd be helping out their homelife, helping out yourself, and the whole world will be less stressed out! :-)

Think it's possible?
