after speaking with the authorities at my house, i come to find out that this is all loosely based on a conversation about - what else - why my family is moving to texas. specifically, the conversation was about how we are NOT poor. there was no talk of closing accounts of any kind. there was no talk of trailer parks without toilets. all that came straight out of her head into my IM window. according to the police report, however, serena burst into tears and launching a tirade about How She Never Knew We Were Poor. and lucky for me, i became the victim of her demagoguery as she tried to gather followers in her Rage Against the Parents campaign. did i say that she isn't a little kid anymore? maybe this is just a more evolved species.
however, i have to give her props. she was quite convincing.
