[QUOTE="Star*, post: 313491, member: 4964"] I have to laugh.....OMG I have to laugh. First of all whenever I have run into any of the JOEYOURSONISSOFANTASTICIBETHEISTHEMESSIAH's mother and YOUARETHEVIRGINMARYHOWISYOURHUSBANDJOSEPH? I just smile because nothing.....NOTHING is ever as it seems, and if it is and they are bragging and bragging like that and then say SOooooooooo how is your CARJACKINGBROUGHTAKNIFETOSCHOOLIBETHTHISISTHEKIDTHATGOTKICKEDOUTOFTENTHGRADE she really didn't know you at all - so you can tell her anything you want.

I mean I'm happy for them and wouldn't take a single thing away from those childrens achievements - but 9 times out of 10 when you're approached like that it's tongue in cheek. One woman that did that to us not to long ago to be malicious? Was standing there with me and DF. She ran up to us like we were long lost neighbors. Promise - If I had never seen her again it would have been too soon. She was the neighborhood gossip when we left our old neighborhood 10 years ago and quite enjoyed telling MY 'supposed' business to all the other married Moms and Dads because I was not and Dude's Dad wasn't in the picture.
