After a kid leaves her house, she is going thru her personal technique of pleasure, grief and relaxation, and she or he handles all of it with such a lot grace. One at a time, she is the good friend who’s at all times ready with the rest you want (Tide pen, gum, flashlight, granola bar, you title it), however she additionally likes to have a great time and is hilarious in party-mode.
