Obviously you have never spent much time with teenaged girls!
There are approximately 3 emergencies per hour.
*One is usually a grooming or fashion emergency (OMG! Stop at that store
because I just realized I HATE my shoes and can't possibly go into the
hardware store with ugly shoes!)
*One will be related to relationships in some way (OMG! She totally did NOT
just say that! She is no longer my BFF and I immediately have to tell every
one just *everyone* that she said I do not have cute locker decorations!)
*One will be completely random
(OMG! Why did you make me have bangs in second grade? You have ruined my
life!)

See? Coffe to remain alert enough to deal with it ... and then later wine
to blur it all a little.
