Then they play music which Muffy starts to dance too since she read the Mature Miss saying about these mature dance moves, but stopped when they said that they don’t dance to music but just listen to it. Then Angi offered Muffy some coffee, but Muffy mentioned that in Mature Miss coffee stunts growth spurts but Angi proclaimed that Muffy shouldn’t listen to everything in those type of magazine cause they are just opinions and junk. Angi and two of the other friends go to the kitchen and say how funny Muffy is, which left Muffy hurt and hulimated but Catherine comfort her saying even though she is cool for her age, but not ready to be around high schoolers yet.
