This is literally getting ridiculous! Like, no joke...seriously, Mom???? Are you going to tell everyone everything going on in my life and ask them to fish for info??? Just to clarify, let me walk you through the last two days...
So yesterday I go with my mom and g'ma to the bank and sneak off to the candy shop across the street to visit with my neighbor/boss. It's the first time I've seen her since spring break and one of the first things she asks me about is "the bf." Really? Why is everyone so interested? Anyway, so that was kinda awkward trying to explain that...because apparently NO ONE is satisfied with the answer that we had our thing and now its over. And apparently EVERYONE is curious. Later on, my mom, g'ma, and I go to get our nails done. While there, my mom brings up the subject of A asking questions as per usual. I vaguely answer, then g'ma pipes in. She gives a bunch of suggestive winks and comments about the "relationship," much to my embarrassment in a public establishment. I swear I've answered the same questions a dozen times by now. Later that night my mom brings up the subject a couple more times asking the same questions and not getting any different info...you'd think she'd relent. But no.
Tonight, like everyone Sunday night from Memorial Day to Labor Day, is concert in the park. We usually go up with the neighbors and eat/drink while pretending to listen to some local band. Everything was going fine until, like, the last few songs of the concert. My neighbor (who has the vacation home and is a zonie is here with her daughter for the weekend), well, her husband had called and was being passed around the circle of people. Apparently he wanted to talk to me and the first thing he says when I get on the phone: tell me the dirt. I kinda play dumb knowing everyone was watching/listening, but he keeps asking about the dirt and story. He finally gives up and threatens to get it out of me with the whole family comes in a couple of weeks.
Of course when I hang up the phone now everyone else has tuned to the subject. My mom is the ring-leader, then the zonie's daughter jumps in on the fun (my age), and our other neighbors. I hate that all discussion is about me. Well, my mom had to leave a little early and takes my bike home (which means I got to ride the tandem with my stepdad...haha) and once she leaves the three ladies (zonie, daughter, other neighbor) all start asking me questions since my mom has left. I tell them the same thing I've told everyone else, but, seriously, NO ONE is satisfied. I absolutely have no idea what to say to make the story more interesting then: we dated a month, so it's hard to completely know what you want; school ended, cutting time short; yes I like him, but not enough to stay in monterey; no we haven't talked on the phone, but yes we text; we're not committed to long distance, but we're not completely out of each others' life...it is what it is and what happens, happens. We aren't going to force it. Timing sucked. That's it.
I know the inquisition isn't over, but every time someone brings it up it just makes it that much harder to move on. I never wanted to over-analyze the situation...but that's exactly what's happening since everyone is asking about every single detail, which constantly makes me think about it. ugh!
Side note: My mom told me today that my g'ma told her yesterday that she hoped I wouldn't get pregnant. Then my g'ma thought about it and said it wouldn't be too bad if I did, and that she would be fine with it. (good to know)
