Tweens in the locker

Digg! this story.
After the swim this afternoon, there were a gaggle of ‘tweens in the locker room. I couldn’t help but overhear their conversation. Giggles and boy-talk but trying to sound mature and worldly. One part hilarious and one part heart breaking. The ‘it’ crowd was talking about how ‘Cameron is a totally nice guy when he’s not being irrational.’ *(Yes, they used the word ‘irrational’.) And, ‘if only you would ask him to be your friend, he wouldn’t bug you so much in class.’ Another girl who wasn’t ‘in’ the conversation was looking on - clearly sad they were leaving her out of this conversation. They were not shy about turning their backs on her.
Wow. It made me realize there isn’t enough money or chocolate in the universe that could entice me to go back to that age. Seriously, if we can survive pre-adolescence, we can survive anything!
If only we knew then what we know now…… namely, this too shall pass. :-)
