You know what I don't understand? Girls.
Not the way my brother Dallin* doesn't understand them. More like the way Lindsay Lohan doesn't understand them at the beginning of Mean Girls. I grew up with all brothers and mostly guy cousins and lots of guy friends and smart girlfriends. I can only think of two major instances of drama since 7th grade--one caused by a crazy "friend" and the other by a mom who jumped to her own conclusions about my motives. I did my best to handle it maturely and things were worked out in a timely manner. But I've recently become aware of some sort of secret girl code involving the rules of drama and crap like that. And apparently I've broken some recently.
Personally, I think it's pretty much the dumbest thing in the world. That whole culture is based on the assumption that every other girl is a petty slut. I'm glad I don't speak Girl. I'd rather speak Woman. Or Audrey Hepburn.
*A worse sister would include a picture from his first date last month. But that's Mom's job.
Great quote! haha! I usually use my knees to tell when it's going to rain, but to each their own.
ReplyDeleteBrooke, you are amazing! Whatever code you broke doesn't matter in the real world.
I had mostly guy friends and girls that were not drama queens for friends. I had a semester in college that was tough, thanks to my roommates (those who were mean girls and those who were spineless). Years later the head torturer wrote me a letter of apology. I took a brief moment of smug satisfaction, then I realized I had all but forgotten her and her antics.
I'm with you Brooke... Growing up with brothers and basically all guy friends, girls are tough... LOVE YOU!
