The Girls' Book of Friendship

I picked up a neat little book at the library today. The Girls' Book of Friendship has great quotes and stories, like:

A Common Language
The language of girlfriends! I have no idea what a doohickey is, but when Doris calls something a doohickey, I know exactly what she's talking about. Not only do we borrow one another's clothes, makeup, and other doohickeys, but we also have reached the point where we understand each other's language. Sometimes when we can't even express our pain, the language of a girlfriends goes beyond what can be uttered. After all, the lexicon for girlfriends isn't entirely filled with words. Through its bulk of pages you will also see snorts, hugs, and tears. In this language there are even moments of no language, just silence. This silence is filled with understanding and strength.
