Things I Should Have Realized a Long Time Ago - Part 2

The other day, I ran into a woman I hadn’t seen in a long time. I was amazed at how much she knew about my sons, while I had next to no information about her daughter.

Later, I told the story to Jeremy and said, “I know nothing about your friends. Is that because girls talk more than boys?”

He grunted.

See what I mean?

So I developed guidelines for how my characters can communicate with each other about each other.
1. Moms gossip.
2. Teenage girls may discuss their lives at home.
3. Teenage boys exist within a cone of silence
