My best friend Rita and I (both 34f) are neighbors and our girls (6 and 7) are friends and do almost everything together. Our mutual high school classmate Wendy (34f) who is also Rita’s cousin recently moved nearby and last week invited us and our girls to a small party. Wendy said it was a costume party for the children and there will be a small prize for the winner.
My daughter is platinum blonde and Rita’s girl has reddish brown hair and they love Frozen. Of course they wanted to go as Elsa and Anna. On the day of the party Rita and I carefully did their hair and we thought they were just adorable.
Apparently everyone at the party thought so, too, as there was no one else in matching costumes. The girls also won the contest and got a box of fairly expensive candy each. I was happy. I thought everyone was happy.
Wendy’s stepsister, Claire (32f), also had a daughter (7) who joined the costume contest as Tinker Bell, wings and gold “fairy” dust in her pockets for her to throw at everyone and all. She came to Wendy, Rita and me after most guests left and said it was not fair for us to win the contest just because we put two girls in matching costumes and so stole all the attention. She told Wendy that as the host she should be more careful to state the rules so it would be fair for everyone. She said she hoped we felt good for upsetting so many little girls who lost for unfair rule bending.
We three were stunned into silence and couldn’t say a word. Claire then stormed off. Wendy apologized to Rita and me and said Claire has always been extremely competitive.
Rita and I talked about this topic again recently and I can’t help wondering. Were we AH?
