drama queens

Something about girls from the start-we just love drama. It is not enough to say you are tired -“you are exhausted” dying even , your foot is not sore “it may be broken”, it is not a small cramp -you are doubled over in pain. We are not just a little hungry “we are starving to death”. We don’t think we might like something, we  actually need it, crave it like oxygen.

We never just like something. We are mad about it, crazy in love with it. The knapsack is sooo heavy, the sky is fantastically blue, American History class was so fantastic, gym class was impossible, the party was the best ever, the new top is so magic, the meal transforms you, the day was perfect.

We don’t walk, we leap

We aren’t just looking forward to something, we anticipate it with every bone in our body

Clothing is not just for staying warm or decent-it is an expression of who we are and the part we are playing

I live in a dramatic house. It is a pink house- all girls- all drama, all the time, bulging at the seams. It is like we are all trying out for the biggest part in the play and each day must be our best most dramatic performance.

It is so good to be alive and be a girl.

One thought on “drama queens

  1. HA! LOVED IT ! ELISE AND I LIVE IN A HO– USE WITH 4 BOYS! YET SHE IS NOW AT THE STAGE WHERE SHE IS SO DRAMATIC- STILL THE EASY ONE. I SIT BACK AND SAY NOTHING TO HER DRAMA.ALL OF A SUDDEN I DON’T KNOW WHAT I AM DOING WHEN I WORK WITH HER ON HER HOMEWORK.- ( I GUESS SHE HAS FORGOTTEN THAT I HAVE TAUGHT FOR OVER 20 YEARS.) HOWEVER AT LEAST SHE TALKS!!

    THE BOYS NOW GRUNT ETC AND I SPEND MUCH TIME WORKING THINGS OUT OF THEM FROM WHAT I HAVE LEARNED AS THE ‘LAID BACK MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER. ( ACTUALLY I WAS REACTING IN MY HEAD WITH THE STUDENTS CONFESSIONS- “WHAT I DIDN’T DO THAT TIL I WAS 20!!”) I KNOW HOW TO GET PULLING CONVERSATIONS ANYTIME.XOXOXO
