Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

I asked my manager jokingly didn't you say that you did not like your son's ex-girlfriend she responded jokingly yes, then laughed and said I liked her we had to get use to each other more but it took some time.This was during work time and with other staff as usual, she always tell stories about her son and his girlfriends. This was on a thursday, on monday morning I was called to the office and she told me I was fired becuase I was rude to her by asking that question. Can I file a case on the company?
