Jessica:
When I was a girl, there was this lady, the Crazy Old Lady we called her 'cause she hardly ever spoke to any of us. When I'd walk by her house, she'd bang her cane on the window and say something like "MANYA MANYA MANYA MANYA!" Well, I was scared to death of her. One day, my mother said "Instead of being afraid and calling her Crazy Old Lady, why don't you ring the bell, introduce yourself and make her feel like she's not a crazy old lady." So, I did. Because I took a risk. Do you understand?

Gwen:
Thank you, Mrs. Tate.

Jessica:
You're welcome, dear.

Gwen:
How did she react when you rang her bell?

Jessica:
She said "MANYA MANYA MANYA MANYA!" and hit me in the head with the cane. Crazy as a loon.
