"But Ms. Maynard is in her thirties; she's an adult, not a toddler. Should I be the one bending over backward to accommodate her? Frankly, some might even question her intelligence if they knew about this."

"Luna, what's with the attitude? Apologize to Ms. Lane right away, understood? She's a guest I personally invited today. How could you speak to her like that?"
