Spotted. Teenage drama in all its ooshy gooshy delight. Gossip Girl took place at our Seder table on Saturday night. It came in the form of two teenage girls with blessed heads of hair, the kind that settles naturally into ringlets (cousin Hannah) and can be twisted into a pile on top of the head without chopsticks (Hannah’s friend).These chicklets were caught between making grown up conversation about traveling through Europe and hashing out with intensity the motivations propelling a“stuck on herself” girl at hool. 10 seconds later they were begging us to speak sentences which they scribbled madly into diagrams to prove how hopeless English class could be. Brought back memories of grammar lessons that I never understood, and also those bestfriendships that are made up of sleepovers and obsessing over girls who are more popular than you are.
Now a days my best friends are confined to "be our guest" situations, but deep down I still believe that while we did not marry brothers, we might one day move in next door to each other. Maybe we'll even hatch our own teenage girls, although probably not the kinds who have quite such fabulous hair.
