She Was Just Accused Of Ruining Her Sister’s Engagement Announcement
Here we go. A woman who was born the first of three daughters has a valid defense of the innocent comments she made in a conversation with her dad, which inevitably “‘ruined” her youngest sister’s big announcement.
The story: baby sister is ahead of the curve. She just got engaged and, in all her excitement, texted her eldest sister a picture of her new diamond ring with a caption that read, “I’m engaged!”
Although she and her oldest sister have never been close, she was truly happy for her and wished her well.
When the eldest daughter called their dad the next week, the youngest sister came up in conversation.
So, the big sister asked him if he’s spoken to her. Because the baby sister is busy and doesn’t regularly call their father, it’s not out of the ordinary to ask him if he’s heard from her.
Evidently, he hadn’t. Surprised, the oldest sister responded, “oh, interesting,” sparking interest and further questioning from her father. To divert the conversation, she kept telling her dad she did know and couldn’t say anything.
A day later, the eldest sister got a call from her baby sister. She was livid that the older sister told their father she had gotten engaged.
She denied the conversation, insisting she did not tell anyone about the engagement but may have alluded to it accidentally.
However, it was too late. The youngest sister said her grandfather visited her and asked to see the ring. Somehow he guessed the surprise just by talking to their father.

The newly engaged sister was beyond pissed, telling her sister it was all her fault. She was inconsolably upset and hurt that her sister ruined her chance to tell everyone the big news.
Although she never said the words, the eldest sister repeatedly apologized, trying to convince her she had no intention of ruining anything.
But, the damage had been done. The youngest sister was convinced the oldest sister wanted to take away the happiness of her special moment and take the attention away from her.
In my opinion, I suspect there was some voice inflection that changed her from jerk sister to unintentional jerk sister or vice versa.
Honestly, it’s tough to read a text or a letter and guess someone’s emotions and intent without physically hearing their voice.
Her response of “oh, interesting” could have been sweet and innocent, drawn-out and suspicious, or even rude, but we’ll never know “how” she said it. We can only assume she was trying to be nonchalant, not coy.
But, if the older sister said “oh, interesting” with any hint of-lights on the marquee, starring me, the best child, I have a secret, I’m going to ruin my little sister’s surprise, then she would be a complete jerk.
I guess we’ll never know. You can read the original post on Reddit here and decide for yourself.
