Okay, why do you keep doing that?

Um, they feel like marshmallow.

Think that's what happens
when you get your braces off.

Oh, my God, they look so different.

- Thanks.
- Do you, like, feel older?

Um, a little, because this morning

I woke up, and, like, my
boobs were a little bigger.

- I mean...
- A little bit.

Like, they're huge. Wow.

They're not huge, but they're...

No, they're huge.

Girls, uh, let's get some furikake.
