An Adolescent Conversation on the Beach

I over heard a conversation on the beach yesterday.
Two young girls were walking past me.

"What I don't understand is how you can hate me so much one day but not on other days." the less fashionable girl asked plaintively.

The other girl glanced uncomfortably aside and said she didn't understand what the girl meant.

By this time, they had gone past, so I'm not sure how the older, slimmer girl answered or evaded.

Was the question the degree of hate?
Was the question one of fickleness?
Was the question a true search for understanding or of juvenile manipulation?

Look at the question again. What was being asked?
Was it, "What will make me more acceptable to you?"

How hard that road is.
