I can't make up my mind about how many morons there are in the world!
And, most of all, why I seem to meet them all.
I have this "friend" (that's how she would describe our liason...), she has no reason to be worried, has a good job, she's married to a nice guy, has a very nice daughter, her parents are ok. But nevertheless, she seems to envy anyone else, coz to her others are always happier!
We've known each other from the kindergarden. We have spent together all the primary school, the secondary one, we've even shared the same desk the first year of high school (then, I said "enough"), we graduated the same day. Our daughter are just 1 month apart, they went at the same primay school (then I arranged things to divide them) and we've been neighbours for a long time.
After all this, you would say that nothing she can say or do would surprise me, right? Wrong!
About 8 years ago my father-in-law passed away one night (I was there with him) and in the morning hubby and I had to arrange things for the funeral, the religious service, and other stuff. We made some calls, and I asked a friend to tell her. He did it, in the evening. She got mad, coz I didn't call her first thing, and she had to wait a whole day before knowing about it................I know, no words. Her mother got upset too, saying to anyone that this was not a friendly behavior.
When dad passed away, three weeks ago, mom said "don't let this happen again" so I asked my mother-in-law to call her mother (they are neighbours). So, the same afternoon she called to let me know how sad she was for me, asking for that evening church service and about the funeral.
After all the inquiring you would have expected her to show up, right? Wrong. Again.
She wasn't at the service, she wasn't at the funeral, she didn't call to say she couldn't make it. In three weeks, not a word.
Well, next time I surely will act differently. She's a "friend" I can live without, don't you think?
