Rumors

Today I was talking with a dear friend about rumors that we had heard about ourselves that are not true- not just because people should know you better, but because the logistics of the rumor just can't "work out". So, I"m curious, what rumors have you heard about yourself (or family) that weren't true.

Mine:

When Jared and I were dating we went to Las Vegas (and Utah) to visit some friends of his in the Air Force. We took a dear friend down To Vegas who had never been there. When I got back up to Utah from the trip we went to Deseret Book and bought new CTR rings and scriptures (typical mormon thing to do). When I arrived back in MA the rumor had gone around the Institute Class that we had gotten married in Vegas and I couldn't break it to my dad. (We really should have gottne married on our trip.) However, we didn't get married. We spent all but an hour with our friends and in that hour away we drove up to the temple to talk. (No we didn't get engaged- or make out, we just talked). It took weeks for everyone to get over looking at my scriptures (to check out the last name) and to stop talking about us getting married. I still laugh about this one big time!

And, I heard a rumor 2 weeks ago that Jared was having an affair with another friend when she was 9 months pregnant. Okay, any one who believed that just needs to think- why in the world would anyone that is 9 months along step out in her own marriage? Put yourself in her shoes, did you want anyone in your business when you are that far along? I sure didn't- I couldn't even bend over to tie my shoes- the last thing I want is some lovin'. Think about it. Also, what happens when she goes into labor and it's not her hubby that does it- kind of a hard thing to explain to your husband (and kids) "umm, honey, I'm in labor. I"m at the hospital and so and so drove me". Makes you think about things a little differently when you actually think through the logistics of it. This supposedly happend 2 years ago.

Any way, rumors. Don't we all have better things to do than spread them or listen to them? I'm not trying to stand on a soapbox about this cause I've spread my fair share (and if they were about you, I'm sorry), however, I don't have the time to deal with all the "crap" that rumors cause. I love to hear your comments/ false rumors too, cause I know we all have something being tossed around. :)

PS I'm not offended or hurt by the rumors- anyone who knows me knows that I don't "give a crap" about what is or has been said, however, I know there are people out there who are sensitive to those things.
