"Carla..um..you know that Crow Lane post? Well, you may be talking about xx's mama." Oh shoot.
So the caller goes on to tell me that they are pretty sure that who they think I was describing was working yesterday around the time I described. 'Round 11.30 last night I settle in to check emails and do all the other stuff I do when my FB chat goes off (insert the sound it makes when you have a convo) and yup, you guessed it..up pops xx's name. I'm looking at the pop up saying: should I answer? cause this is my girl (and not to mention a cousin) and I really dont want to beef with her over anything cause we cool peoples...but I thought let me be a man about it and answer.
"I saw ya blog tonight and I think you are talking about my mama. She worked tonight." I wanted to fall through the floor. I braced for an effin off but she was cool and we ended up laughing about it.
But she said one thing that made me have even more respect for her, after I said, "Oops"
"No need to be sorry. Right is right and if she did act like that I'm gonna mention it to her cause I dont stand for that."
I tip my hat to you XX cause that conversation could have taken a whole new direction if you or I was part of that elite species---THE CHICKENHEAD!
Moral of the story:
- Word spreads fast when ya pissed
- People actually read my blog
- REAL women talk things out, not take an instant attitude without examining the real cause first
Peace...
Especially (in the immortal words of Jeff Sousa) on 13,440 acres, it was easy for word to get out and around before Facebook. Now, with social sites, you barely finish your sentence and someone is quoting you. I'm glad this turned out o.k. Twilton because I wouldn't want to have to picket outside of Crow Lane or some other establishment that wronged my little cousins. Your friend/cousin was correct not to defend the actions taken by the ladies in the store and should be commended.
ReplyDeleteif people don't want to get called out, they shouldn't act the ass. this is the freedom of the "free press" - if it's good for the face of the nation and the idiot behind the counter who thinks they can treat a person like shit and stay immune. glad she came to her senses... i'd rather read about it here than on the front page!
