She has been that way for decades.  Sadly, she lives on the same street as the PO and if she sees someone going in or coming out she is apt to appear. It has become a game.  Dodge Peggy while getting the mail.

When she said I need blush I just chuckled and went to my car.

I just cannot imagine asking anyone personal questions. 

I told DD  if not for the fact Peg would spread it all over she should have said yeah, Mom found a hunky 35 yr. old on the internet.

I live in a neighborhood like that. 3-4 women in neighborhood houses gossip like crazy....when they aren't going to church or quoting the Bible. 

Two of them were in the backyard talking last week and my BF asked me if I was going out to join "the old biddies"  Just no. LOL

I think your daughter handled it very well. People like Peggy will blab everything they hear to anyone who will listen. They are simply rude and shallow people.

@CrazyKittyLvr2  My dad had a great stock question for snoops like this. He would look them straight in the eye and ask "are you writing a book?" LOL I 've seen him do it a few times.

The rude, super snoops would be so shocked and remained with their jaws dropped. No further questions were asked. Sometimes, you just have to embarrass them. Usually works.

I had a friend that would take that one further..."because if you are, you can kiss my ar$e and call it a love story."

My Dad also said, "Are you writing a book."  Then he went on to say, "Well you'll have to leave this part out".

I've hear my daughter say this to her 6 year old when she asks too many questions when adults are talking.  I love it.  She remembers her granddad.

Ha!  Love the  Glue stick vs Chapstick bit. 

Yeah, I don't do well with nosy.   Some people just seem to be wired like that and I don't even think they realize they are being intrusive.  

Then, there are some who are just plain nosy.   I tend to gravitate away from that in warp speed.

My Mom used to have a good line about people gossiping about her.  She'd laugh and say when they're talking about me they are giving someone else a rest.  She never took it very seriously. Unless they are trying to ruin a reputation or spread a vicious lie it's best to just ignore.

Hey Chicky, my love!

Lacy has a cute trick for the nosy ones! She took sign language and she tilts her head to the side and signs 'Why do you ask?', with a puzzled look.

They look back at her like a deer in headlights, having no idea what she signed (said) and they just walk away.

Sure enough, Gladys Kravitz and her nosy friends spread it around the neighborhood that she's deaf and no one even bothers her anymore, LOL!

It's hysterical to watch!

Hugs!

@KingstonsMom  Hi my Dear!   Ha!  That's your kidlet.     Brilliance.   

As to ASL, I started learning it like a million decades ago and wish I had kept up because I really would like to go back.

We have a Gladys Kravitz on my little street.  It's a guy but, man, does he ever earn the name!

Nice seein' ya!  💖

No need  to answer any question about "how you are".

Just respond with a simple  turnaround of the question by asking "how are YOU??????"
