[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really think this kind of crap is only going to be important to the vapid girls. Those with any kind of intellectual curiosity won't give a fig.[/quote]

I'm OP, and I've been saying that for years, but I'm starting to think maybe I'm wrong.  I'm really not in the "mom circle" but I sort of know who the "vapid" girls are, and my daughter gave up trying to be friends with them years ago.  The ones she's talking about are ones that are more the geeky types already.  I think the problem really may be that they just don't have a ton to do at recess.  It's crowded and there's not enough equipment, so unless you are an uber-sporty girl that is willing to challenge the boys in basketball or fight through the crowds for the monkey bars, you're standing around chit-chatting.  And, honestly, they aren't likely to be discussing the causes of the American revolution at recess.  They're talking about their scores on Temple Run, or the new overlay they just got for their Sims app or whatever.  (It could be worse, I guess --- they could be talking about boys or clothes.)  My daughter did start a club at her school, and so they occasionally have club meetings at recess where they talk about the subject of the club, and those days are okay, but I think the other days, she's just feeling lost and shut out of the conversation.[/quote]
