Fauntleroy

Have you ever met someone who is completely well adjusted and from a loving, caring family and been surprised by what they didn’t know yet just by nature of haven’t having encountered it? I think Penny’s naivete is pretty much the same.

In a sense, she doesn’t come from the same world as the rest of the cast. She hasn’t been around abusive people, she doesn’t have the experience that others have in spotting certain behaviors. So it makes sense that depending on what metrics you use to determine maturity, you could say she still had a lot of maturing left to do as a young adult.

That’s pretty normal, though. Most of the rest of the cast has been stunted in some way that has made it so that they still have a lot of maturing left to do as already grown-ass adults.

Don’t forget to shimmy. You know Todd loves shimmying.

I think the phrase life’s a bitch and then you die is well known enough that just having “Sometimes life’s a bitch and you keep living” should work fine and is much less wordy

Having lived a somewhat similar moment, I think probably not. But this is the last time either of them will seek the other out specifically, and even when they bump into each other down the road it will be more like strangers who recognize each other than old friends reuniting.
