Amelia:FHL? I can think of a few not very Parker-like options for that.
Parker:MILLS, STOP RUINING MY THING.
Amelia:Sorry.
Naomi:Are you sure I should be in the group chat?
Greyson:Don’t be ridiculous.
Amelia:ABSOLUTELY.
Gracie:You are an FHL, whatever that is.
Summer:Parker, cut the suspense. We know you like a big, dramatic reveal, but just tell us.
Parker:Y’all are no fun. FHL stands for First Hockey Ladies.
Bailey:I like it.
Amelia:You like everything.
Bailey:Maybe. But I also DO like it.
Summer:I also like it but …
Amelia:Oh, no. Here comes a Summer but.
Summer:Wouldn’t First Ladies of Hockey sound better?
Parker:But the abbreviation wouldn’t be as good. FHL is like NHL and AHL. Get it?
Summer:Okay. I concede your point. FHL it is!
Gracie:Agreed.
Evie:SO much better than WAG.
Amelia:Here’s how I feel about WAG: [barf emoji]
Naomi:If I get a vote, I like it.
Bailey:Of course you get a vote!
Evie:You totally get a vote. And I’m not just saying that because you held Juno so I could eat the first night we met.
Naomi:I’ll hold her anytime!
Amelia:No more talk like you don’t belong, okay?
Parker:Speaking of belonging, I may need to borrow your dog.
Summer:Nice non sequitur.
Naomi:Sure. What do you need with my scary smiling dog?
Parker:The team needs a dog. Stupid Larry Jenson won’t approve an official one. He didn’t say anything about BORROWING a dog.
Amelia:Nice. My dad will love it.
