Um...I know floor hockey and field hockey (hockey what is played on a floor or a field, got it), but what is foot hockey?

Anyway, for awhile having girls' teams for any school was such a thing that any co-ed school that had teams had "the [mascots]" and "the Lady [mascots]."

This led to my high school having the Lady Rams. "Sheep," I said quite loudly. "Lady Rams are called sheep." Ah, high school. But that gendered convention was patchy by the time I was in high school.

I don't know. I had older friends in high school, and an older cousin with whom I was (and am) close, but it really seems like there are some pretty big differences between how it was between Kari and me and how it was between Kari and her sister Mary. As an only child, I am extremely leery of things that are labeled similar to sibling relationships, because many of them are not, they're friendships, and that's okay.
