shit talking.

We went to Thanksgiving dinner on my side of the family last night. It was more like lunch. My cousin is very wealthy, so she had us come over to the castle and we had a catered dinner. It was nice to see everyone and since the weather was nice mostly everyone was outside.

The thing about my family is that you always want to be at the parties. You want to be there because if you aren't, your ears will burn at all the shit-talking people will do about you. A and I sat outside and listened as they roasted my cousin's girlfriend, they even tried to get A to say something mean about her. A never has a bad thing to say about anyone, with the exception of people who drive like jerks.

I understand how fun gossiping can be, how it makes you feel like part of the "cool" group, but I also understand shit like "cool" doesn't and shouldn't matter after you reach the age of 20.

What I don't understand is how my cousin's mother could through his girlfriend under the gossip bus when I see them talk and get along when its just my cousin's mom and my cousin's girlfriend? It all stems from my wealthy cousin's disdain for for this young lady in question.

Its funny how people in my family act around my wealthy cousin, they treat her with the respect a grandmother should get, that her words are always full of sage advice, and most of all people treat what she says as gospel. Truth is, the only thing she has straight are her finances. The rest of her life is real messy.

I couldn't stand the bashing, it got a little much so I left the circle and went inside to gorge on chocolate. Its funny that they bash her because she's young, and yet they're the ones acting like children. I guess cash blinds you to irony.
