...Sugar and spice and everything nice...
The nursery rhyme author never met my daughter or her arch nemesis/best friend (depending on the day). The pair is 12 years old - almost 13 and my husband and I cringe at the thought of them becoming teenagers and fighting about, say - boys. Right now they're not speaking. No problem, you might say - perhaps they need the time apart. And I'd agree with you, save for the fact that they must ride in the same carpool most days to and from school and live a block apart. Oh - did I mention their older brothers are close friends and their fathers and mothers are bestest friends. Yes - this complicates the issue immensely.
Arch Nemesis insists my daughter sent an email to the boy AN has a crush on. In it, said daughter pretended to be AN and professed her undying affection for the boy. My daughter insists it wasn't her. Now AN has supposedly turned all the other 12-13 year old females in their class against my daughter. Who do you believe. Did you think we were talking politics for a moment? Does the United Nations have similar distrust issues?
Eventually the pair will kiss and make up until the next drama begins. Until that time both girls will make their parents' lives a living Hell.
Dr. Spock never said there'd be days like this!
