Q: Hey. I just met two of my good friends from school this year. They're both really nice. Lets just say their names are Jody and Samantha. The problem is that Samantha always likes to make fun of Jody. She's only joking around because I know she really likes Jody a lot but I can tell it bothers Jody. Samantha doesn't really notice it bothers her because she thinks that it's all in good fun. I don't know why she doesn't do it to me too but she doesn't, and they met eachother a few weeks before I met them. At first they both used to make fun of eachother (you know stupid jokes) but now I can tell Jody really doesn't like it. Samantha always includes me in this when she's joking on Jody and she'll always be like "Lori look at Jody" and laugh or she'll pretend to whisper something. It looks like I'm involved whenever she does this. Then, Jody will ask me what she said later and since it's so stupid I just tell her but then say something like "but she was only kidding". Then Jody will go and say to Samantha "Lori told me what you said" and it looks like I'm starting trouble. But if I don't laugh at Samantha it will look like I'm some uptight wierdo even though Jody doesn't like it. And like I said I know that when they are having a normal convo, they're the best of friends so Samantha's not doing it to purposely be cruel. Does anyone have any ideas so that I'm not always stuck in the middle or so that I look like I'm always siding with one of them? I really like them both and I feel bad when this happens. Thanks so much in advance and I know this is soo petty and stupid but I know you guys will give great advice! =) Thanks!
