My daughter worked in a popular bagel shop on weekends and summer in High School. We had a neighbor that was very competitive and jealous of me I guess and my kids, never knew why. She went to the bagel shop where my daughter worked with one of her friends and waited in line until my daughter would be the one that waited on them. Pretending to whisper but certainly loud enough for my daughter and other employees and patrons to hear, the neighbor said to her friends,” you can tell that is S’s daughter, you can tell by the nose”. My daughter and son were great students in HS, popular, good-looking and always very giving and nice to everyone. I guess she just wanted to hurt someone’s feelings. My daughter came home and told me about it, her feelings were hurt. I told her to pay no attention, some people are just small and it wasn’t very nice, just ignore. The next time I saw that neighbor she was with a few other women in a store shopping. She ran up to me and said, “S, I haven’t seen you in ages, how are you and hubby and the kids, blah, blah”. This is not my normal reaction but I did it anyhow. I looked her in the eye and spoke loudly, we are all fine, thanks for asking. Then I said, Nancy I’ve always wanted to say this to you since you attempted to make a young girl feel bad on a couple occasions. My daughter could always get a nose job (she doesn’t need one) but there isn’t a darned thing you can do about your beady eyes or lack of personality and class! She stopped dead in her tracks, especially as the cackle from the other women filled her ears. Whenever she runs into me, she heads any direction but mine!
