My young co-worker always marvels at the number of people I know and call friends.  She’s always like “You‘re always running into people you know.”   Well, yes.  

Monday, she had a rough day, and being closest to her at work, of course I heard all about it.  Her husband lost yet another job  (something in my head keeps saying LOSEER!).  Her husband’s ex wife accused her of child abuse.  

On the way home from work, we hadn’t even gotten out of town yet, I’m telling my hubby this.  He gets a kinda grin on his face and asks her husband’s name, so I tell him.  He gets such a big smile that his adorable dimple is showing.  By this point, I know that he’s got something “good” to tell me. and I’m bouncing up and down in the seat “tell me, tell me”

Well it turns out that my coworker’s husband’s ex-wife’s fiance is my husband’s good friend and co-worker.  We had a good laugh about the irony of that.

I have not, and probably will not tell my co-worker this.  I will try to mentor her to the best of my ability as far as the child situation goes without telling her I know both sides of the story.
