I just got a call from the school that Kennedy hasn't been attending her classes.

I drop her off to the bus everyday and wait till she gets on so I know she's going to school.

I was furious with her right now.

Frida was with me and heard everything.

I'm puzzled.

Yeah I'm pretty puzzled too.

You don't think it's our fighting that's making her act out do you?

Well all four of us together is a dangerous combination as of recently.
And I am so disappointed in Kennedy.

With that the door opened.

Hey Kennedy honey.

How was school today sweetheart?

Same old.

You didn't learn anything new or different?

No.

What are you currently working on in class?

Battle of Waterloo.

That was a hint that she was cutting classes she said it way too calmly and sarcastically.

Kennedy lied to me.

I was very disappointed in her now.

Kennedy Frida and I want a word with you.

We got a call from your school.
You've been cutting classes

You're going to believe them over your own daughter.

Listen Kennedy it's okay you hate school either something is wrong or you genuinely missed so much you feel behind.

But it's not okay that you lied to me.
I'm very disappointed in you.

Fine I lied to you two.
Kennedy what's going on?

It's you four everyone's fighting and you guys hate each other and I can't focus in class with you not making up.I hate that I've been acting out but I hate more that you would ever known if the school didn't call to say I was.

I feel awful that none of us noticed.
I'm afraid I'm going to lose Aunt Frida.

Aunt?
You are my Aunt aren't you?

Yeah honey you've just never called me that before.
You're not gonna lose me over a fight.

And we aren't fighting because we hate each other.
We love each other so much that we get into disagreements this time it was worse sweetie.

Call them.
You're so wise.

Come here Kennedy sit on my lap.
She snuggled up on my lap.
Frida called the guys over.
