And, I am sorry, but I did get caught up in what they were alluding to. I did not spread it at all, but I should have spoken up that gossip is not tolerated,” Abbie. His life had just been turned upside down.

"Then Sandra came in andtold us that it was her tea set and that we needed to ask her to play withit." She then picked up the cups and saucers and tried to take them away,"continued Jessica. "Kelly tried to get them back and she got smacked inthe face." Well, I've told.
