I had the distinct pleasure of hanging around four 13 year old girls for the better part of this weekend. Let me preface this to say that all of these kids are really great. Well behaved, polite and respectful. It's my hope that some of this rubs off on Chickie but that's for another post.
The weekend was, how shall I say this, eventful. And very loud. Then my brain exploded.
To make matters worse, I had developed a lovely case of laryngitis which ultimately earned me the nickname Squeaky. This type of conversation was not uncommon:
Him: What's wrong with you? Are you ok?
Me: I think I lost my voice.
Him: What do you think you did with it?
Ba-dum-bum!!!! (In case you were wondering, I married him because he told me he was rich. Now, I'm just waiting for the insurance policy to mature, if you know what I mean).
Moving right along, I had forgotten that teens are basically these silly creatures that rarely show any signs that their brains are connected to their spinal cords. Brain dead baby. I was unabashedly eavesdropping on a conversation they were having in the living room while I was cooking dinner.
Apparently, from what I gather, there is a girl at school who is not what one would refer to as slim. To further complicate matters, she is a "snob" and thinks she's "all that." According to the chatter in the living room, she "always talks smack about her friends and anyone that she is targeting for the day (I'm not sure if I got the lingo right)." All of the girls had been in her sight at one time or another. I gather that her taste in clothes is not appropriate either. I guess they are a bit tight. Or at least that's what I'm thinking based on what I heard.
Teenager 1: Did you SEE what she was WEARING today?
Teenager 2: OMG! What was up with that shirt girlfriend?
Teenager 3: Dude, she probably had to cut it off herself when she got home.
Teenager 2: OMG!
Teenager 4: All of her rolls were just sticking out. It was so gross!
Teenager 3: She's had one too many biscuits.
Teenager 1: Girlfriend? She's got a lot more than biscuits going on in those rolls.
Teenager 2: OMG!

Welcome to the Teenage Zone....
I'm guessing the kid in question is slightly plump maybe even would some would consider "normal" but is trying to fit into smaller clothing like I don't know maybe a size 10 instead of a 12 etc..

Is this girl "curvy" and thinking she's struttin' her stuff, and instead dressing inappropriately? A counselor or teacher might need to talk with her. I had to wokr with a girl who dressed like that -- single and very caring dad, two daughters, just didn't really know how and when to say no to revealing clothing.
