Barbara caught the towel easily when Galen tossed it at her, folding it rather than snapping at him the way she was tempted to and laying it on the counter top before she shook her head. "Not forever, no." She told him. "But sometimes I am tempted." Not just because the men in her life could be idiots, but she'd met some women that she thought she might have worked well with. Dinah maybe. If she could ever get her friend to stay in one place long enough for something like that.
"Yes, they can." She agreed, pleased to see that Galen thought that way. She might not have been surprised if it turned out he wasn't okay with something like that, all things considered.
Laughing when he called school pointless and complicated she shrugged. "I guess it might seem that way to someone who has never done it before. It just the way we do things where I'm from. When you're about five or six you start elementary school, and then after about 6 years you move on to middle school where you spend three years and then on to high school for four more years before you graduate. From there some people choose to go to college, to study things more in depth." It was strange to think of a place that didn't have some form of school, but maybe where Galen was from there was school he'd just been denied the chance to go. It was hard to say really.
"It can be." She nodded, "A lot of people make friends there they keep for the rest of their lives." She told him. Not that she had done that, sure she'd met Dick when she was still in high school, but did that count? She wasn't sure. He didn't go to school with her. "There are clubs and things you can take part in, and dances and sports." All things that she hadn't really done either, but normal kids did. They had fun with them.
