Tami is made of awesome. I loved her speach to the teacher. You do not fuck with Tami's baby girl!
The only thing I was a little eeshy on was the idea of "Poor Julie! She was humiliated! Tami shouldn't have humiliated her!" Because... no. I'm sorry, but no parent or caregiver should be encouraged to ignore their misgivings about an adult's relationship with a child in favor of not embarassing said child. IMO even if it turns out that Tami's suspicions were wrong, it's still better off that the worst thing that happens to Julie is that she gets embarassed. WAY better than the alternative worst things that could've happened.
...and now I'll get off my Gift of Fear soapbox and go to bed. Ahem.
See, I think *Julie's* response was typical for a 16yo girl, and I think the sister pointing out to Tami how she'd feel if their mother had done it was not a bad thing - I think Tami was correct to give the teacher dude the business, but I think she probably should have shut the door, because that's not something other students need to hear, regardless.

Anyway, at least you got a shiny new iPod (yay!). I usually get out of the store frustrated and empty handed...

They know when they're in the hands of a tech and they just roll over and show their bellies, the little buggers.

But maybe they'll have one big episode over whether or not he's guilty and then it can be over?
That would be nice. I would really like it over with.
And Tim! With his apologies! And Coach and Tami at the end... *draws hearts around them*
SO MUCH LOVE!
