The other day I had a conversation with three of my students. Sixteen year old girls. They had some complaints about one of my colleagues. As I was sitting there listening and thinking about their arguments and the fact that they simply couldnt understand any other point of view then their own my ex popped up. It was a scary realization. I kept thinking for the rest of the conversation that ex is sixteen years old.
These girls will get it eventually bc they mature. Perhaps ex will too. But I wouldnt hold my breath!
