Problem: Daniel looks so big next to her . It was really great to see Julie again , and Mike was pretty cool about us discussing gross girly / birth stuff . I can see more playdates in our future . Of course at this point it 's pretty much a mommy playdate , but it 's fun !

Why does Daniel appear so large ?

A: Daniel is next to a small woman .

Problem: Like most Catholic schoolgirls , I had a love - hate relationship with my uniform . It was an unflattering , unwieldy thing that hid the curves our adolescent bodies were just starting to develop : precisely what the nuns who designed the garment had in mind . I went to Miriam , where the girls wore green pleated skirts and loose tan blouses from grade school to high school . It was a color combination that got us endless teasing from students of rival schools who likened us to inverted trees , although we had our own witty comebacks about year - round Christmas decorations and Goldilocks waitresses . The outfit was finished off with white socks emblazoned with the school initials paired with shiny black shoes , with heels that could go no higher than two inches .

What type of faith does the narrator have ?

A: They are Catholic .

Problem: But I met him . Devin . I ended up agreeing to go out with him and I wore a little khaki skirt for our first date and I called him every night and I played out the relationship like it was 1958 and our parents were always in the other room . I do n't know why it lasted as long as it did .

Why do you think I played the relationship in the manor that I described ?

A:
Because I really did not want it to go very far , and was surprised it did .
