When Maggie's unfamiliarity with colloquial slang results in the school suspension of the object of her affection, she is devastated. Devastated and looking for someone to blame: the easiest remedy to soul crushing humiliation frequently being an evasion of responsibility. Maggie selects the easiest target and accessory to the events of the day-her mother-as the true culprit. Expecting nothing more than a punching bag, Maggie is frustrated when given a piece of advice instead of an apology. Advice that she will only learn the importance of after years of embarrassment; advice that will put said 'embarrassment'-lice motivated haircuts, homosexual boyfriends, failed international love affairs and emotional betrayal-into perspective, and eventually, guide her on the path to loving herself.
