It’s Saturday, no school today, but Kennedy takes time to study a bit anyway before breakfast, while Anika enjoys her yoghurt.

Zoe joins the group, but first she gives Kennedy a hug. The girl’s been a little anxious because of the exams, and her upcoming birthday.

In a few days she will become a teenager, so she’s been asking Zoe lot of questions. Which is not strange, it is logical that she wants to know some things about life. Maybe it’s time to have “the talk” with her and Anika?

Zoe still thinks a talk with Kennedy or Anika is a little premature; to her, they are still her little girls, but anyway…
Zoe: So, Kennie, what exactly do you want to talk about?
Kennedy: Hm… Boys?

Anika: Boys are silly.
Kennedy: *Flushes*. No, they are nooot!
Zoe: Honey, you look troubled, is there something you’d like to tell me?
Anika: She probably wants to tell you about Lucas.
Zoe: Lucas? Lucas who?

Anika: Munch, naturally.
Kennedy: Anikaaa!
Zoe: *Giggles* Oh, Lucas Munch? Well, he’s a cute little boy.
Anika: He’s not a little boy anymore, he’s a teen. And Kennedy likes him, a lot.
Kennedy: …

Zoe: Oh, darling, is it true? You like Lucas?
Kennedy: Not as much as Anika likes Alexander.
Zoe: Alexander? You mean Goth?
Kennedy: Yeah, he’s also a teenager now, Anika has a crush on him.
Zoe: So, Alexander Goth, huh? Wow…

Anika: Hello, I’m still here, remember? And I definitely don’t like Alex, er… Alexander.
Zoe: Look, girls, there’s nothing wrong with liking the boys, but there’s a few things you should know.

Zoe: You will soon become teenagers like Lucas and Alex, so I think it’s time to have a mother to daughters talk, or a girl talk, so to speak.
Kennedy: You mean the birds and the bees talk?

Zoe: You already know?
*Anika and Kennedy exchange glances*.
Anika: Hm, we’ve heard some things, yeah.
Zoe: Wow, news travel fast. Anyway, I think we should…

Zoe: Oops, sorry, work call… I’ll be right back with you.
Anika: Forget it, Zeke is coming.
Kennedy: *Sighs*. Goodbye to our girl talk.

Zeke: *Sits at table*. Hey, mom. Can I listen to your girl talk?
Kennedy: A “girl talk”. Are you a girl? No, you aren’t, right?
Zoe: (to Kennedy) Don’t worry, sweetie, we’ll talk about this later.
Kennedy: Is Zeke included?
Zoe: No, Zeke is still too young for this kind of talk.
Zeke: Aw, bummer.
