Gracyn: but you’re my best friend!
After Leighton woke up from her nap…

While using the restroom…
Gracyn: i need privacy, please.
Mackenzie: *turns away from her*

Gracyn: no! i’m not done…
Mackenzie: *turns away from her*
Gracyn: ok. done.
While using the restroom (and – I’m convinced – staring into my soul)…

Randomly while playing in the family room…
