Girl Drama!
"Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell." (James 3:5-6)
One morning in 1984 or so, I walked into my Christian school building, ready to see my friends and begin another day in 6th grade. Suddenly, I saw a group of girls rush towards me with indignant, almost hostile, looks on their faces. I had my saxophone with me for my weekly lesson, and I remember swinging it in front of me as if to prevent them from getting too close. My crime? Daring to be friends with another girl in the class. My "best friend" that year had gotten jealous and apparently pulled some other girls into thinking I had done her wrong. I learned from another girl in our class that Margie had pulled the same kind of thing the previous year when she had been best friends with the girl who told me. Such began my intense dislike of girl drama. Because girl drama = nonsense.
