I'm telling you, because they act like they don't know the difference between right and wrong. And this is the truth. And see, one of the reasons is the parents.

But then...::Aunt May, Aunt April: [both roll their eyes and turn to leave]::Aunt June: Wait, now. No, no, no. No, ma'am. You have to listen.
