did she really just say that?

Odd thing happened tonight, and for once It only slightly involved one of my kids. 

I had C1's cellphone in the car with me.  For the record, it is not officially C1's phone.  It is the Kids phone, and which ever older kid needs it, gets to take it.  Since C1 is the oldest, he has it most.

Phone rings this evening while I'm out.  I answer it, C1's Phone.  Girl on other end, while laughing and chatting with her friends, demand to know why I am answering C1's phone.  I reply because I happen to have it with me.   She demands to know why, I reply because I do, then she calls me a bitch.

Ummm...wait?!  what! 

Yes, she actually calls me a bitch for having my sons phone.  I demand to know who it is, and she says a friend.  I look at the phone and see the name.  Then, the mom in me comes out. 

'who in the world do you think you are talking to someone like that on the phone.  This is C1's mother, how dare you talk to someone on the phone like that when you dont even know who you are talking to' 

You get the picture.  This quickly sobers up stupid girl.  Apparently I have a really really good mom voice.  Next I hear, 'oh my god, oh my god, I am so sorry, i am sorry. blah blah blah'

I found it amusing but trust me, I was ticked off!  What if it had been C2 who answered the phone.  She would have been so hurt to have been called a name!

I inform stupid girl, that she should be more careful about calling people she does not know, names.  She is now apologizing up and down!  I could actually hear the shock in her voice. 

So I get home and inform c1 what had happened.  He does not sound surprised?  Oh well, kids are stupid kids after all.  The kid phone rings at 9:30.  All my kids are in bed.  I let it to go voice mail, then listen to the vmail.  Hey!  Its my phone!  and I knew it was stupid girl calling.

She sounds horrible on the phone.  Apologizes to Ryan, says she would understand if he never talked to her again, and deleted her number from his phone blah blah blah. 

I figure it this way...when I was a kid, even a young adult, I made stupid mistakes, said things that shouldn't have been said and felt bad about it.  Bad enough that I have NEVER forgotten it and to this day, keep these little reminders in my head. 

From the sound of her voice, I am guessing she will never forget the day she called her friends mom a bitch!
