Emily tried super mega massive ___ (some kind of bubble tea). She tried the taro and it wasn’t sweet enough. The peach was just OK. It was called ___ monster milk tea. She said it was pretty good with a coffee flavor. She asked if Ambria likes a strong coffee flavor. Emily said it wasn’t too bad. She said she could tell there was coffee in it.

Ambria told her we went to Westwood Village. Emily asked what it is. Ambria told her it’s a shopping center and that we visited a nearby game store and went to Target.

They’re the ones with the baby who isn’t a baby anymore. Emily said she remembers.

Emily asked if we have lightning bugs “up there.” Ambria said we don’t have a lot of bugs but she hasn’t seen lightning bugs.

Emily asked how school is. Good. Ambria is done with French for the year. They go back, but they’re just playing games. Ambria got an 86 on the reading quiz and a 100 on each of the others. Emily said, “well, good.”

Emily asked if she’s doing French next year. Yes. Emily asked when they pick classes for next semester. They did that a few months ago. Emily asked what she chose. Her electives were drawing and painting and she thinks photography. Emily asked if she has to take PE. Ambria is done with it.

Ambria told her to tell Reda hi and she loves her. Emily said she would. She wished her luck in school and finding a bathing suit. Emily searched for something else to say and couldn’t think of anything. She said to go with bubble tea flavors she likes. They ended the call at June 12, 2021 9:09 AM.
