But I’m meeting this person tomorrow, and I really needed to tell someone. You know. Just in case.

June

Yeah, in case this person turns out to be an ax murderer. Or a kidnapper. What were you thinking? Do you know how many people go missing every year?

Daisy

I don’t think anyone murders people with axes anymore. This isn’t the early 1900s.

June

Well, that makes me feel so much better. Now I can sleep at night. I repeat—what were you thinking?

Holly

Calm down, Mom.

June

Kinsley

So long story short, Colin did get approved for cochlear implants, but my insurance doesn’t cover anything. I needed to be able to pay for it and his therapy after. There’s no way I’m going to let him go the rest of his life without the ability to hear if I can do something about it.

Daisy

That’s one hell of an early Christmas present.

June

And you didn’t think to ask for help?

Kinsley

That’s not the kind of money I can borrow. Or pay back.

This is my way of taking ownership of my body and making sure Colin is set. What’s the alternative? Giving it away to some loser like Brian who’s only going to break up with me a few weeks later in a coffee shop?

Holly

Fuck Brian. He’s a moron who doesn’t know what he’s missing.

Daisy

I bet he has a penis the size of my pinkie too.

Ava

Sorry, work is crazy but OMG. I’d never have the guts to do something like that. And I agree, #teamBriansucks

Kinsley

I also have another minor problem.

With my bosses.

Holly

So what’s the problem with the bossholes?
