Hey I just got an e-mail from another room-mom. It was obviosuly talking about me but for someone else. This is what it said:

I can’t standed Kate. She is one of those people that has the huge house that is double the average size with a swimming pool and hot tub. Ones that every time you walk in, you could tell that they just ate something really good. One whos kids wear name brands and have new iPods and cell phones but aren’t even bratty about it. Her two oldest kids have a Voyager! Her kids are beautiful and smart. Did you hear that Kalya is a model? She gets $2,000 a month. That’s almost my husbands salary. She goes to every classroom party for the kids and brings the best snack every time. I heard that they all do charity. One of the kids even won an award. I can’t stand her! Too perfect!

I sent a reply saying “Sorry you feel that way.” and she imidently followed with a reply “Oh sorry that was supose to be for another person. It wasn’t you I was talking about,……
my sister-in-law.”. Do you think this is true about me?
No well I mean do you think she is just jealous? I mean I don’t go around saying how rich am, etc.
No I mean it’s me. I have 4 daughters 12, 10, 8, and 6. The 2 oldest have a Voyager, they all have a fairly new iPod, and my oldest, Kayla, models.
Well, people do. I wasn’t the entire e-mail, just a part of it that you needed to know. The rest was talking about the classroom party and who was going (I was on the list that’s why she started nagging about me).
