Gossip: I learned my lesson!!

I have an educational story to tell, that I'm actually ashamed of, but wanted to share with everyone so you won't do what I did! And I'm curious if anyone has ever done this?!
I was at my DD's soccer game yesterday, she's 11. A mom came up to me and said "Does so-and-so know what position she's playing?!" (she said the girl's name) I replied "No,I don't think so. She was like that last year when she was on our team...and her mom's a coach, too!!" Basically, we were discussing how "airheaded" this girl was.
THEN, I turned around...I was sitting down...and there was the girl's mom!! She was hidden behind our banner. She was looking at the field, so I'm not sure if she heard me. I was so embarrassed and felt so guilty! I didn't want to say anything to her, in case she heard us, so i just said nothing and sat for about 15 more minutes. Then I couldn't take it anymore and had to leave! I felt so bad, because God knows my kids aren't perfect. I'm not excusing this girl's attitude at the games...but what I did was so wrong.
Well, thats my lesson about gossip: Don't do it!! You never know who might be around!

Now, hopefully, she doesn't come to this board!! LOL!!!

Ugh, I'm glad i'm not the only one who has put my foot in my mouth like this.
Did the other people hear you talking or say anything to you?

LOL This reminds me of me always telling Alex not to talk about others in public because you never know whose aunt or grandparent may be nearby. Try not worry about it too much .I sure the mom has noticed she has an absentminded daughter too.
