She Looks Ridiculous

She dresses so young!
She should dress her age!
She looks ridiculous.
I scoff at these old biddies.

If any of them looked half as good
They would be dressed exactly like her.
She takes care of herself.
She exercises. She eats healthy.

She has a slim body, and her skin is impeccable.
This is where all the gossiping is coming from.
I roll my eyes at their jealousy.
She arrives, and they ooh and ahh over her.

Well my goodness. Not only are they jealous, but they're also hypocrites... the worse kind of crappy people. Love this one, Caren.

I couldn't have said it better, Caren. Backbiting is such a part of the group experience.
