Lana: Some of the football players cheated on a math test, got suspended for it, and then the quarterback, my boyfriend Whitney who I am still dating and have no plans to break up with, said he didn’t see why everyone was making such a big deal over the cheating, so I quit the cheerleading squad.
Nell: Maybe the fact that some of the football players misbehaved and were appropriately punished isn’t the best reason to quit an activity that you enjoy and have made friends doing.
Lana: No, I’m quitting. I’m quitting and getting a parttime job to save up money so that I, a 15 year old, can ~*~travel~*~ this summer.
Nell: Well okay, if that’s what you want, I can give you a job at my shop.
Lana: No, I want to do this on my own!
Nell, well aware her niece is a fucking disaster who is going to get fired within a week: *gives a pained smile of support*
Lana, later: Ugh, Nell is so controlling.
Lana. Sweetie. Expressing concern over your dumbass life decisions while still standing back and letting you make your own stupid, stupid mistakes is not being controlling.
