I owned every second that this world could give,

Audrey Griffin. Nineteen. Sophomore at Columbia College in Chicago. Studying Fashion Design and English.

[adam-abrams]

Nice to meet you. And thanks for the help.

[audreygriffin]

It's no problem, really.

[adam-abrams]

Thanks. I’m Adam, by the way.

[audreygriffin]

I'm Audrey.

[adam-abrams]

It worked! Hell yeah freaking right. Mission accomplished with only minor injuries sustained.

[audreygriffin]

Congrats on that. 

[adam-abrams]

…never mind, I’ll go separate them. And hope that they don’t tear me apart limb by limb or something. 

[audreygriffin]

I wish you luck with that. Make sure none of them bite you. Some kids bite. 

[adam-abrams]

[Groans.] Can’t I just let them fight until they knock each other out?

[audreygriffin]

I mean, you can. Just make sure none of them are hurt too badly.

[adam-abrams]

I’m, like, ninety-percent sure one of them tried to put a lizard down my shirt. And then the older brother punched the younger sister in the face, then the middle brother punched the older brother so now they’re fighting and she’s crying and I’m pretty sure I should do something but I have no idea what. 

[audreygriffin]

This is when you pry them apart and put each child into a different room. 

[lincoln-claringsmythe]

Yeah. A lot of people are still really prejudiced though. But, uh, I don’t know. Hopefully soon the better people will outnumber the close-minded ones.

[audreygriffin]

Hopefully we will one day get to be asked more than just superficial questions for the most part. That will be the day, don't you think?

[adam-abrams]

Trust me, you don’t know them. My mom’s cousin and her husband had some business thing to go to this weekend and they needed someone to look after their kids so my mom volunteered me. I had only met them a few times so I was l was like, “sure, easy cash”. Wrong! I’m not cut out for this! These kids need police officers! And a priest!

[audreygriffin]

Police and a priest? Okay. Wow. I'm slightly afraid to ask just what you have been dealing with today. 

[lincoln-claringsmythe]

Yeah. I mean, girls do totally awesome things all the time anyway… We just barely get credit for them…

[audreygriffin]

We do. People usually ask us about our clothes not what we do. At least people are trying to change that soon. 

[adam-abrams]

Both.

I got roped into babysitting my cousins for the weekend. 

[audreygriffin]

I mean it could be a child you didn't know at all that's worse? Take the kid I babysit to pay for food because college food is really not the best. But, how'd you get that gig?

[leightonmmeesterdaily]

[lincoln-claringsmythe]

Yeah. True, I guess. We’ll show them.

[audreygriffin]

We will. We'll do something totally awesome someday soon. Like, get us out of this never ending winter.

[fashionablevie-blog]

It's a hot chocolate day.

[fashionablevie-blog]

People are ridiculous like they don’t keep your feet warm AND they get ruined. I’m all for sacrifices for fashion but don’t ruin expensive shoes in bad weather!

[audreygriffin]

They make your feet colder in the winter. They're awful snow-wear. And people should know this by now. Find actual snow boots. 

[adam-abrams]

There are children crying. Why are there children crying?

[audreygriffin]

Are you surrounded by children or just having a really terrible nightmare?

[lincoln-claringsmythe]

Yeah, I guess you’re right. Kinda sucks.

[audreygriffin]

Yes, it does suck. But us women gotta stick together then.

"Okay? Yeah…Just a little out of it! Sorry, Audrey."

[audreygriffin]

"It's fine. Do you want to talk about anything?"
