Girls Cannot Get Along in Threes

Three preteen girls tried to be friends with each other They will never be able to do it, says Dorthea’s brother Never say never, warns his savvy sage stepmother. Wisely saying nothing, is David, Dorthea’s brother. David has noted that girls do not get along in threes. They want a bestie, and one is always feeling left out. He waits for the fireworks, which happens with these. One of the girls storms out of the house, with an angry shout. What happened to her? Asks the stepmother, truly confused. David keeps his mouth shut, but he understands the shout. The fact that he is smarter than her, makes him feel amused. She is one of three, says the stepson, it never works out. Boys can get along fine in three; they never stomp out. That is true of boys, but not of girls, David said. Girls pair off in twos, and one is always feeling left out. His stepmother decided to put this new knowledge into her head.
