- Woo! Today's the day. I'm finally 16! I've prepared I thought I would need, just for today.
- I definitely can't wait to go with John today. He invited me to HIS party for MY birthday. So why NOT go?
- I am kinda hungry, so I hope the food's ready.
- Thanks Dad, and good noon everyone!
- Hey, nice of the birthday girl to join us.
- Hey Jazz, don't it look like it got ejected by the other end?
- Yeah, Happy Birthday and whatever but what is this uneven chicken intestine-looking orange thing?
- Jorge, that's a sweet potato.
- Please, can I just meet you outside really quick? Please, it's very important.
- I will. but can I ask you something in private, Dad?
- Anyways, hope you enjoy.
- Why not tell me here?
- If you insist, Amanda.
- So Tim, is having a party later on in the day at like, 5:20. He invited me two days ago and I was wondering if I could go?
- Tim, as in....Mr. Turner's kid? You know how I feel about them and their "hospitality". The short answer is no.
- But Dad, Tim's hosting the party and all the other kids in town are going. My friends, his friends, even a few of Jorge's friends are going. Why can't I go?
- You know as well as I that they are both pugnacious, petty, and persistent in both of those. No means no and that's it.
- You always do this dad. Whenever I want to go out and have fun you don't let me. I HATE YOU!!
