M: Jason saw the most recent photo shoot you did, he said that dress is too tight and you shouldn't be posting that stuff online. He doesn't want people getting the wrong impression.

L: Mom, you need to stop texting him or seeing him whatever is going on needs to stop. Or if you do, just don't tell me, because I'm sick of hearing his useless opinions. I'm not letting him tell me what to wear and what to post, I'll be 25 in a few short weeks. 

M: I'm sorry Lacey.
