Val: What's this?! Holly?! I got another note from school! You're behind in math--again. Holly: I am not! I'm operating on an alternate timeline. Val: You waste too much time in front of the computer and the television. And too much time talking to your friends on the phone. And why have you been eating a greasy pizza on my couch?! Holly: What is this, pick on Holly day?! Is everything I do wrong? I'm a kid!! This is what kids are like! If you didn't want to deal with this, why did you even have children?!? Val: I was told it would be rewarding!!
