How to Gossip

May 26, 2016
By Anonymous

Materials:
4 cups of an event
3 spoons of talking
1 cups distrust
10 gallons of jealousy
1 teaspoon forgiveness (optional)
4 half cups of someone to tell
1/2 cup of friendship
1 ounce of laughter
Directions:
Take a common event
Add in a bad decision
Add in an exaggeration
Stir in your own opinion
Add details that never happened to sweeten the taste
Sprinkle well with the spice of rumor
Heat slowly over a flame of jealousy
Serve secretly and quietly.
To anyone who will pretend to listen.
