Me: You guys know what today is?

''Leni: Of course we do, sweetie! It's your 15th birthday today!''

Leni: "Sweetie"?

Lola: That's a little weird. Who does Leni ever call "sweetie"?

(The LKs all cheer.)

''Lynn: Party! Party! Party!''

''Lisa: Another year older, Another year wiser. Not as wise as me, but you're getting there.''

Lisa: The author seems to be conflating wisdom with intelligence. And I must humbly admit that while I have plenty of the latter, I don't have quite so much of the former.

''Lana: It must be so cool to be fifteen. Do you feel any different than you did when you were fourteen?''

Me: Uh, no. Not really.

Luan: Fifteen isn't exactly a milestone age. Well, except for girls down in Mexico.

[Beat]

Luan: Different cultures are weird.

''Luna: Oh man, dude. I just realized something.''

Me: What is it, Luna?

''Luna: I'm 15, and you just turned 15! So now, we're the same age!''

Me: Oh my gosh, you're right!

Luan: (to herself; sadly) Yeah, and we're not.

[Luan raises an eyebrow.]

Luan: Really? I'm gonna get all broken up because one of my friends isn't the same age as me? That doesn't even make sense.

Lincoln: Especially since you'll be fifteen soon enough.

Leni: Will she? 'Cause, like, she's been fourteen for the past three April Fool's Days. Is it just me, or are none of us getting any-

Lincoln: [Points to the screen] Hey, look! More story!

(She looks down)

''Luna: Aw man, dude. I can't wait to show you all the cool things we can do now.''

Me: Cool.

Luan: Like what? What can a fifteen-year-old do that a fourteen-year-old can't?

(Just then, Rita and Lynn Sr come in.)

''Rita: There he is! The new fifteen-year-old!''

Lynn Sr.: Happy Birthday, sport!

(I give them a hug)

''Me: Thanks, guys. (to everyone) And tonight, at my party, we're gonna party 'til we're purple.''

''Lana: (Excited) GAH! I love being purple!''

Lincoln: ...come again?

Leni: Well, sometimes when she eats grape popsicles, she gets really purple and sticky. Does that count?

Lincoln: Not really. She likes being messy, not purple.
