When Busy gets her first period very unexpectantly, she must rely on her father to help her out. Later on, she talks with her mom about this new development in her life and insists it's no big deal especially when Amanda hears of it. Amanda is completely excited and jealous, for she has not gotten her period yet. Busy continues to call it no big deal but it really is, especially when she has a conversation with her mom about womanhood and the beauties of motherhood.
