Jackie: I just can't with my mom...
Tina: What did she do this time?
Jackie: She yelled at me cause I wasn't smiling enough at uncle George's party :P
Gabrielle: wtf
Jackie: yeah, she said I was pouting and acting like a baby...
Tina: But did you like... say anything mean?
Jackie: No! She specifically asked me to be super polite so I was!
Gabrielle: jeez... and how was the party
Jackie: it sucked balls.. you know - a classic family get-together when you talk about your illnesses, neighbors and tell a gazillion dad jokes
Tina: I'm sorry
Gabrielle: They're the worst :/
Jackie: I was just SOOOO bored and it lasted like 6 hours
Jackie: I went to the bathroom like 10 times just to get away from it
Gabrielle: I have this kind of party coming up... my aunt and uncle's anniversary
Tina: too bad. You can always get out of it by catching a cold like me ^^
Gabrielle: You kidding? My parents would drag me to it if I had late stage Ebola :P
Jackie: xD my mom exactly
Gabrielle: They don't care if I feel worse or I pass it on to some relatives as long as I keep up appearances
Jackie: Yeah, Tina, you're mom is just so cool
Tina: well, I must admit she is pretty cool ;)
Gabrielle: you're lucky
Tina: for all it's worth, you know she doesn't mind you coming over. You could practically live in our house and she'd be ok with that
Gabrielle: maybe one day ;) And Jackie, don't worry too much, as usual your mom will be in a good mood by tomorrow
Jackie: Yeah, I know. and I'm supposed to be the moody teenager :P
Jackie: thanks, guys
Jackie complains about the uncle George's party that she attended and her mother's behaviour. Gabrielle's expecting a similar party due to her uncle's anniversary. Tina suggests simulating a sickness but Gebrielle's convinced it won't work.
