Note: I wrote this to explain Penny's behavior. I try to keep stuff out that should not here. If there is, let me know.
Quote from Jeanette on Dec 18th, 2016, 6:54pm:"Miss Ariel." Penny speaks up.
"Yes, what is it Penny?"
"You look beautiful without breasts."
There is a proverb "If you want the truth, ask a child." Nevertheless Jeanette wonders what Wilbur Robinson has been teaching Penny. "Penny. You are not to be talking about anatomy in that way."
"What's the other way to tell Miss Ariel that she's beautiful the way she is?" Penny asks.
"You can tell Ariel that she is beautiful without getting into personal details." Jeanette answers.
"Other than Immortals, I haven't met an adult woman who doesn't have breasts."
Jeanette clears her throat. "Penny, you and I need to talk about what's appropriate to say and what isn't."
Jeanette wonders were this is coming from. She needs to find out. Alone with Penny, Jeanette says what's on her mind. "We are not supposed to comment on certain parts of the body such as breasts, private parts or the rear end."
Penny explains herself. "Mr. Robinson says nice things about my body and since Miss Ariel is also pretty, I wanted to say nice things about her body."
"What kind of things has Mr. Robinson said about your body?"
"He says my body will always be beautiful because I'm an Immortal. He also says I'm prettier without breasts and that my chest is perfect the way it is."
Alarms go off in Jeanette's mind. "Has Mr. Robinson touched your body anywhere?"
"No." Penny answers.
"What has he done?"
"He asked how I feel about being an Immortal."
"Why would Mr. Robinson ask how you feel about being an Immortal?"
"I will always look the same and he wants to know what I think about that. Miss Ariel doesn't have breasts either and she's an adult. She has a beautiful body."
"There are women who are flat and do not need a bra; they still have breasts. Ariel is an adult and she therefore has breasts."
"She does?" Penny asks.
Jeanette gets back to Mr. Robinson. "What specifically has Mr. Robinson said?"
"Do you mean what did he say about me being an Immortal?" Penny asks.
"That's one thing." Jeanette answers. "I also want to know about other things he said."
"He wanted to know how I feel about being an Immortal."
"What else has he said?" Jeanette probes.
"He said my vulva was designed to be beautiful."
Jeanette asks a question she already asked; this time she is more specific. "Did Mr. Robinson touch your vulva?"
"No, he hasn't."
"Has he touched you anywhere on your body near your vulva."
"No."
"You're comfortable in your skin and that's good. What I want to know is, has Mr. Robinson taught or encouraged this?"
"No. All he said was don't leave the apartment in just my skin." Penny then volunteers what she thinks about that. "I don't want that. Even though I'm pretty, that would be embarrassing." Penny says what she thought about what she said. "Mr. Robinson said I would meet someone some day and that person will want to see me in my skin. He asked me what I thought about that." Penny looks at her mom for her response. "That's a strange question, isn't it?"
Of all the things Penny said, that is what's strange to her?
Jeanette collects her thoughts, wondering how is the best way to answer Penny given the entire messed up situation. "Why is that strange to you?"
"Don't you think that's a strange question?" Penny asks.
"That is a strange question to ask. What I want to know is, why is that strange to you?" What Jeanette wants to know is, of all the things Penny said, why is this question strange to her.
"I'm beautiful. Of course I want that person to see me in my skin. Mr. Robinson says I'm also beautiful in the dresses I make."
"You are. You made a lot of pretty outfits. How you wear them is also good. You're always keeping your socks pulled and you never have your panties exposed. You look very presentable. I like seeing you in the clothes you made."
Penny smiles. "Thanks Mom, I'm glad you like them."
