"There's a lot of weirdness in your family," Jenna says, picking at a scab on her elbow. She doesn't even know about my own personal brand of weirdness. (1.24)
Ouch. Jenna has no trouble telling Mia how it is. Mia knows her family is a little wacky (that's putting it mildly), but she loves them to pieces anyway. Their strangeness helps her fit in. In her family of misfits, Mia feels right at home seeing colors dancing around on the wall.

"Sundays are supposed to be family time, you being considered family of course. She shouldn't come over on a Sunday morning. She's the rude one if you ask me." (10.36)
Jenna gets annoyed when her dad invites his girlfriend over on a Sunday since that's family time. Ever since her mom died, Sundays are sacred to her and they shouldn't be messed with. While she's ticked at her dad, Jenna shows us how families can bond together through their traditions, especially when someone dies.
