anymore.

Call you what?

Baby Bird.

- It's your name!

- No it's not!

(groans)

I am not a baby.

But you looked just like a

baby bird when you were born.

I wanted to call you that

but Mommy wouldn't let me.

She broke me down.

Why are we never in here?

[Jenny] 'Cause this is

Grandma's space.

Isn't it all Grandma's?

[Jenny] Huh.

And it's Bird.

What bird?

That's what everyone calls me.

Like who?

Oh my god is that my shirt?

Everyone calls me that

like Lilli and Arlo.

Since when?

Since we left the Valley!

(groaning)

Crap.

I know that you didn't want to

come here

but it makes things so much

easier for me!

It was great there, okay?

No one thought I was a dork

anymore.

I got to live next to my best

friend

and I wasn't bleeding all over

everything.

Seriously just Bird like

not Baby or Baby Bird?

You say I'm a woman now

and I'm gonna have sex

with everyone I see and then

oh yeah, I'm gonna turn you

into some sort of creepy

grandma?

Yeah, blood is pouring

out of me and ya suck.

- (scoffs)

- Come on.

(slaps)

Okay, you are on the

rag and you need to like

eat some chocolate or something.

Then let me go grocery

shopping!

You can't go grocery shopping!

(groaning)

I'm not a baby.

I don't need baby things,

right, 'cause I'm a woman.

I don't need dolls or toys to

play with.

I can't have any of this

anymore.

Baby Bird, Bird.

My childhood is over.

You are a kid!

And I'm bleeding!

(sighing)

You know what?

Screw pancakes.

She won't let me.

No.

Hey, is that woo woo lady thing

still happening at Mona's?

Yeah?

Wait what?

I have to make the phone call.

I have to call people?

Oh god thank you.

Is Celeste gonna make

me talk about my vagina?

Is Celeste gonna make

her talk about her vagina?

Probably.

Oh my god.

Bird, ah!

[Bird] Hi Celeste.

Tell me all about

what's going on with you.

I think Lilli already told

you.

Got my period.

Ah your first period!

How exciting!

So how are you feeling?

Do you have any cramps, any

soreness in the breasts,

bloating, diarrhea, mood swings?

- Mood swings.

- Mood swings.

Mood swings.

Girl, welcome to the sisterhood.

[Jenny] I mean she

does live in the house,

we do share a bathroom.

It's bound to happen.

[Arlo] Maybe we should do

the ribbon on the doorknob

thing.

She's a kid.

That's a little

inappropriate to be like hey,

here's a sock on the door.

What is more inappropriate?

What are my options?

I feel like some preemptive

strategy.

A little bit?

No.

Hey, I got a question.

Yeah?

What's going on here?

What do you mean?

What do I mean?

I mean what's going on with you

and me?

- With you and me?

- Yeah.

Everything's cool.

Everything's cool.
