My Friend Daisy
Episode 3 - Smile Now, Cry Later
She was still a little kid, still with her little, she hadn't had her hair dyed yet. And I would see her like in the school uniform. She was so sweet and innocent.

Episode 3 - Smile Now, Cry Later
I was worried for my friend, you know, having a kid so young, because we were like 15 or 16, and Daisy was, I think, barely 13. So I did worry about my friend going through something like that so young. But I think I felt a little bit calmer seeing that she had Daisy there. She was living with her at the time. And I felt like Daisy kind of in a way became like another sister for her, you know?

Episode 3 - Smile Now, Cry Later
I'm pretty sure she was already interested in that stuff, but I think living with my friend, because my friend would dye her hair all the time, too. She'll have it, like, so burnt from, like, dyeing it red, having it blonde, dyeing it blue, green, purple.

And I started seeing Daisy dress up like that, too. And she looked so cool. And I remember she would dye her hair like all these different kinds of colors. And at one point, she had it blonde. And she kind of reminded me of, like, Courtney Love. I don't know if some people take that as offense or compliment. She looked really cute, though.

I'll see her wear like Nirvana shirts. I would be wearing the shirts of the Smiths and she would ask me like, oh, where did you buy that shirt? And I would tell her like, oh, in Pacific, nearby walking distance. And I started seeing her wear shirts of the Smiths too.
