Mum phone call

Here is something that used to happen a lot. All the time. But when I look back, this is the first time it's happened in a while.

I was sitting in a café with my friend and we were eating lunch. My mobile rang and I answered it. It was my Mum.

She was hysterical as she'd just had a phone call with my sister. Amongst other things she talked about the mention of me in that phone call.

My sister was ranting about a post I made on here. It was when I went to Waterstones just before Christmas and picked up her book. I saw that on the back were reviews by people I like. Sue Perkins being the most memorable one. It really knocked my self esteem.

Anyway my sister was saying that I troll her. I don't think that's true, having looked up the definition.

My Mum then said to me that my sister said she "wanted to get back with me"...what? I stopped my Mum and asked her to confirm that's definitely what she said. My Mum confirmed it to be true, but that my sister would only get back with me if I apologised.

I blew up. WHAT? I've apologised to her so many times. To a point. There are things I will not apologise to her for, as they did not happen. I'll apologise for certain things, but I won't bend over backwards and say sorry for things that didn't happen.

It was only after the phone call that I realised that in the middle of the cafe, my reaction to our conversation had elicited such a physical reaction in me. My friend had never seen me be quite so demonstrative. Interestingly though, she commented that she knew perfectly well what I was talking about on the phone...
