On the ride home from school, the following dialogue happened-
DIEDRA reveals her hands to the screen and they are covered in sock puppets. DIEDRA’s LEFT HAND to represent her and DIEDRA’s RIGHT HAND to represent her mother.
DIEDRA’s Left hand
May I go to the comic book store?
diedra’s Right hand
No.
DIEDRA’s Left hand
Well, you know I never ask you that much to take me and it’s prom this weekend so you won’t have to see me all weekend.
DIEDRA’s Right hand
No. Do you have date for prom?
DIEDRA’S LEFT HAND
No.
DIEDRA’s Right hand
Do you want one?
DIEDRA’s Left hand
You know, like, whatever happens, happens.
DIEDRA’S RIGHT HAND
Do your friends have dates?
DIEDRA’S LEFT HAND
Some do, some don’t.
DIEDRA’S RIGHT HAND
Do you have anyone in mind?
DIEDRA’S LEFT HAND
IDK. Whatever happens, happens.
DIEDRA’S RIGHT HAND
Again, do you have anyone in mind?
DIEDRA’S LEFT HAND
No one really, I guess.

Internal monologue: I meant who would go with me?
DIEDRA’S LEFT HAND
Talking to DIEDRA

DIEDRA’S RIGHT HAND
Well, you know sometimes you have to ask people?
DIEDRA’S LEFT HAND
Yeah, I know.
DIEDRA’S RIGHT HAND
So, do you have anyone in mind?
DIEDRA

IRL, I feel like I am in a slow teenage drama that just never seems to end.
