behindmothersbackI have learned so much in this place, Father. I go to school now and have a job and do all kinds of things that real girls do. But there's still so much to do and tonight I hope to have another experience that I've heard so much about. I've watched movies and read books and nearly all of them talk about slumber parties as if they're the quintessential coming of age experience.
I want to have these experiences, things I never would have done had Mother succeeded.
So tonight I've planned a night with my friends, and invited them to invite a few of theirs. I have cookies and ice cream and pizza and games and scary movies to watch and I truly hope that everyone enjoys themselves. There are pillows and sleeping bags all over our living room and I have to thank you for allowing me to overrun the apartment like this.
I do hope we all have fun.

As you well know, I had none of my own and can only listen to the stories of others. Those stories, sometimes I like to pretend it was me, laughing and playing and attending school with friends.

I didn't really fit in with those kids." Juno hadn't ever minded that, though. She stuck out, but she'd always been pretty okay with that, with being who she was. "There would be some stupid games. Truth or Dare and someone would be dared to go and kiss the dog or someone's brother or something. Then their parents would tell us to shut up and go to sleep, pretty much."
