What you discuss on a girls' weekend

Sometimes I see them every week, sometimes not for a month, but once a year the girls (over thirty) go out. Buying out a store in two hours, seeing who starts talking about wine first, hours of dining, going out until after two (which is a rarity with babies at home) and then discussing in detail at breakfast who snores the loudest. As if I'm going on a school trip and this weekend was the weekend. I once explained why that girlfriends' weekend is a solid plan, but I also want to talk about what you discuss.

  1. What tends to sag during childbirth and how many stitches were involved. I find this downright fascinating.
  2. When you all go on a girlfriends' weekend again, because you want this once per season, but you know this is a utopia and you should be happy if everyone can keep that one sacred weekend free. 
  3. Whether your job is still worth getting up for and what you actually want, because sometimes you just can't explain that in one caprese salad at lunch. 
  4. That sometimes you're just not that happy, even if you have no reason for it. Beware: tears may come into play and they can just as easily be from laughing so hard, because it's hi-larious when you say it out loud.
  5. In the past. It always goes back to the past. If you do this, then you know those friends are for life. And that you grow old, yes, that too.
  6. Or if you become a bit more fun. I got it in the car on the way to Maastricht, that I still remained so much myself over the years. And believe me, that's the biggest compliment you can get from your friends.
  7. That you need to get back in shape, because if you complain about those five kilos, then you need to do something about it right away and not be the first to shove a cheese stick in your mouth. 
  8. Whether you wax or flash or shave and what the best method is to avoid getting red bumps. Hey, it comes up, I'm just mentioning it.

I can't wait until October 12, then I'm going again. With my girls, because they remain my girls, even if we sometimes fall out of line here and there.
