The thing is here -- to you it doesn't READ that way, Scottie. But are
you really supposed to know what it's supposed to read like? I mean,
unless you're a female, you've never been exposed to an all female
conversation.... you've never been a girl reminiscing with her old
college roommate.
And granted, I didn't graduate from college that long ago. But some of
the conversations I had in college hit pretty close to the mark. Now, I
can't say that all females have conversations like this but I can say
that I've had conversations like this. And that's why I've always liked
this story... it does ring true to me.
