In Class

Zoe and I found ourselves in another course tonight. After 27 years of friendship we have sat in a few classrooms together. We have taken some not so main stream classes. Like knitting when we were 18. I showed up for the first class and found it frustrating and far to much work to make the sweater I wanted, and was it was much easier to buy. Then Sewing, when I started sewing the legs of my shorts upside down Zoe took over and finished it. Asian cooking, the only thing I took away, was how to make a great pot of rice. And now we are sitting side by side in parenting through separation. This is a mandatory class for anyone who is separated working towards divorce in Alberta. How many best friends end up getting divorced in the same year? We knew walking in that we were condemned to 3 hours of videos, sharing with the class and very very stupid questions. I saw a couple of things tonight. First , if this is my dating pool, I will remain single forever. Secondly, there are some really crazy people raising children. As one of our classmates asked another irrelevant stupid question, Zoe leaned over and said "seriously, I am missing the bachelorette for this!" I burst out laughing, It was like we were 16 again. One laugh in 3 hours, and only because I brought a friend.
