Mean Girls

I got a call from my older daughter at summer camp today. She was distraught because an slightly older girl was bullying and humiliating her in the bathroom today. She wanted me to pick her up from camp and luckily my managers worked with me so that I could do so.

I purposefully did not ask this girl’s name or anything because the urge to out mean girl her was almost overwhelming. I am one of the meanest mean girls ever and I’m pretty sure I could have made her feel like the cunt she is without using any profanity. But somehow that doesn’t seem fair when she’s 13 (at most) and I’m 32. Still, it was hard not to.
