The Jones Residence

Mandy: Hey, Mom, do you have a minute?

Mrs. Jones: Of course, sweetheart. What’s wrong?

Mandy: Nothing, I’m just a little down I guess.

Mrs. Jones: About what, dear? Is everything alright with your classes? And friends?

Mandy: Yeah, it’s nothing like that. I just can’t stop thinking about the children who are kidnapped every year for trafficking. It’s so awful.

Mrs. Jones: Oh, honey, why on earth are you worried about that? Did something happen?

Mandy: No, it’s this thing at school and they were talking about how millions and millions of children are trafficked. It’s so scary and upsetting.

Mrs. Jones: Yes, sweetie, it is very sad. But that doesn’t need to be your concern right now. It’s late, you should get some sleep before school tomorrow.

Mandy: Yeah, maybe you’re right. Oh, hey, Mom?

Mrs. Jones: Yes, honey?

Mandy: Did I get all my childhood vaccinations? Because I heard at school bad some stuff about the HPV vaccine.

Mrs. Jones: Mandy, where is this coming from?

Mandy: Nowhere. It’s nothing. Forget I said anything. I’m fine.

Mrs. Jones: No. I want to know how this type of thing is coming up at school. Right now, young lady.

Mandy: Okay, fine. Here. I’ll just show you.
