Gossip is fun. There I have said it and it is out of the way. All of my female readers will know this to be true. I don't think I have ever known another female who doesn't participate in gossip somehow. It doesn't matter if you are old or young. Hell my daughter who is only 7 participates in it as well.
I have friends, neighbors and enemies. Some fit into all three categories. However if they do, they don't know it. In particular I have a neighbor up the street whom I cant stand. When I see her, I want to choke the life out of her. Her children even make me feel murderous. She has no idea though. I am a smiler. I even talk to her at church, if I must. When I see her coming, I don't run and hide. Instead, I gather information, and then talk about it with a close friend of mine, who is basically on the same page. We giggle over her shortcomings, and her children's issues.
My gossip sessions are relaxing to me. It means I have a moment to really sit and chat with a friend. It means that for just a small amount of time, I don't really have to be anywhere, or do anything or drive kids all over town. It is my time.
Plus, I am not sure who it is really hurting anyway. She has no idea we talk about her. And really our gossip goes no further than the two of us. Also, what else would we talk about if it weren't for her?
Justified? I think so.
this was quite ammusing for me to read. i think that gossip is in a females dna. i work with all women so i forget what it is like to be in an environment where people are not talking about one another. and just remember the person that you are talking about is more then likely talking about you too.
