This happened years ago but still sometimes has me thinking 🤔
So had a friend (no longer in contact) who I used to go out with for lunch (let's call her Kate). Knew her a very long time, from childhood and our mums were also friends.
Went out for lunch with Kate one day, had a lovely time. Lots of laughter and a good catch up. Went home and got into the bath for a soak. My mobile goes off downstairs and my DH answers it. It's Kate's mum on the phone demanding to speak to me. DH was puzzled and knocked on the bathroom door thinking it might be an emergency. I get out of the bath, also thinking its an emergency. Kate's mum starts ranting down the phone to me asking why have I upset Kate? apparently she'd come home in tears (she was living with her mum and dad at that point) and wouldn't tell her mum why, so she'd assumed I'd upset her and wanted to know what happened. Honestly it was like we were kids having to account to a grown up what had happened in the playground.
I was really puzzled and suggested she ask her daughter as nothing had happened at the lunch for her to be upset and we'd had a good time laughing and catching up. She kept asking and being bossy and talking to me like a child which started to get me annoyed tbh. Then she switched tack and started begging me not to tell her daughter she'd called me. I put the phone down pretty cross tbh that I'd basically been given a telling off for absolutely nothing!
Kate was 36 at the time.
What is your take on that ??
