Rumors Rumors....

So, i was unable to do softball this year due to medical reasons. ( I have a rare deaseas known as Miller Fishers syndrom) But my very talented sister is able to play. :) At pratice one of the girls asked her why i could not play this year. she told them that i was sick. and thus starts a rumor... the girls first response was, "so she's pregnant!" and off all the others went. decided for themselves whether or not i was actually pregnant... haha. some of them were certain that i wouldn't be, but others thought for sure i was. my valiant sister tried to put an end to this once and for all by establishing that i was indeed not pregnant. but alas. at the end of practice a few of the girls came up to her wanting to know "the truth" of my disappearance from the softball team.(I am not pregnant btw. haha)
I don't really mind these kinds of things. I actually find them pretty entertaining... It seems like people believe whatever they want to believer. even if someone fully informed of the situation tells them other wise. they will come to their own conclusions and stick with them, only swayed by a newer more juicy piece of gossip that gets thrown their way.
But i will admit... times like these i am terribly glad that i am homeschooled. :) not that i am completely safe from the evil grasp of high school gossip... I just think i am in a better situation to handle it.
