    I smiled through all my ex's nonsense. Focused on my kid and grandkids, threw parades and had fun. Fast forward, ex barely talks to their kid. Long game FTW.

    I politely asked a 70-year-old stagehand to help. He was rude, so I pretended to follow his dumb advice - and caused a crash. Everyone laughed at him, and guess who had to fix it? Best part: I ditched helping him afterward. Score!
