(mouse clicking)
- Do your best impression of me.
(Laughs)
Um, for you, "Hello, I'm Ginny,
"How can I help you?"
- This one's gonna be my turn.
Right? - Oh.
- I'm gonna do the best impression of you.
- Okay.
- I would say, um, "I love you. You look
"fabulous.
(laughs)
"I just met you and I think you're wonderful,
and you look fabulous and you're like a
superhero."
- Thank you.
- That's what I would say.
Second one:
If I was a superhero,
what would my superpower be?
And why?
- Okay. If you're a superhero, what powers and why?
Um, the powers is caring power
because - Caring powers?
- Yeah. - Love that.
- Because you're a wonderful mom, my mother,
you're a superhero, and the thing is, if
I cry, you're always like fly to me and
say, "Rachel, I'm here! I'll give you a hug and kiss!"
- I love that.
- That's my favorite part of
you. - Nice.
So caring superhero?
- Yeah.
- Flying to you?
- Yes!
- I love it.
(Laughing)
- What did you wish for me
when you were pregnant
and how is it different now?
- Hmmm.
When I was pregnant...
You remember, um,
you remember we told you the doctors called and we
said, "We're gonna have a baby with Down's syndrome."
Remember?
- And I told you I was really scared?
- Yeah.
- Yeah. And so I was wishing that Down's syndrome
would not hurt you and I was wishing Down's syndrome
would not hurt our family because I was scared, right?
- Yeah.
- And then...
- Here I am.
- Here you are and is it hurting you?
- No.
- Is it hurting me?
- No. - Is to hurting dad?
- Never.
- No, right?
- Yup.
- So I was afraid that it was gonna hurt but
it doesn't even hurt us.
- Mhmmm.
- Yeah.
Hmmmm.
What are you hesitant to share with me?
Hesitant. So what, um,
what are the things you don't
wanna share with me? Things that you don't want to
tell me about?
- I just don't wanna tell you about how I had
chocolate in my room. Eating it behind my tissue box.
Because like, it's like, really funny because when
you come upstairs and say, "Hmmm, what's going on?"
And then, "Nothing! I'm just (mumbles)"
And then after that I'll take a bite of chocolate
and then put it back.
I love it.
- You hid chocolate in your room?
- Remember last time?
- Behind the tissue box?
- Yes!
- Yes.
(laughs)
Funny bird.
- What's something you think I'm really good at? And why?
- One thing I think you are really really good at is
meeting people.
- Mhhmm.
- Everywhere we go, all the time, you meet new people.
- Yeah. - Right?
And you make them feel special?
- Yeah.
- Nice.
What's the hardest thing about being 15 years old
that I might not even know about? What's hard
about being 15?
- Um, being alone in my own room.
- Is that hard?
- Yeah. Because like, I'm scared of the dark and
then I need someone to be in there with me.
I just need company.
Yeah.
This is like company, you guys help out in my room
now. But I still need somebody to be in there.
- So the salt lamp, the little light with the
salt lamp doesn't really
comfort you? - It's not really a comfort
for me. Like, Kosa Kai helps me when you turn it on.
- With that nice music.
- Yeah, and it helps me go to sleep a lot faster than
the salt lamp.
What have you learned from me that has changed you?
- So, I used to think
that, um,
if I did all my
schoolwork right, and I did all my college right,
and I did all my job right, that that was really
important.
- Yeah.
- And then, I had this baby.
- That's me!
- Called Rachel. The things that matter, or the
things that I used to think that mattered
don't really matter that much.
And the things that really, really matter
is what kind of person you are. Like, what's in
your heart and who's in your life and how you be
together with them.
- Yeah.
- And not so much about, uh, your college,
uh, your job, uh, your address.
Uh, your car. - Like meh.
- All that,
- Yeah.
- It doesn't matter. That's what I learnt from you.
What is your biggest dream? And what can I help
you do to achieve your dream? Like what's your
biggest dream.
- Having junk food and watch TV all day long.
- Oh, for Pete's sake!
- Um, New York City.
- Yeah.
- Being, going into my first store which is girls,
all American Girl store without you being in there.
You can be in my apartment if you want, I'll make you tea.
- So you have a dream about... you want... We've all
been talking about you living independently, right?
- Yeah. That's right.
- And you picked New York City. Near the American Girl
store.
- Yes!
- And I said I am ever coming to visit at the American
Girl store.
- But you're not going to. You will stay in my room.
- I'm gonna stay in the apartment and make a cup
of coffee, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah. So is there a way that we can help you
figure out how to live in New York and...
- By going to the train by myself.
- Oh!
- And get somebody to drive me here or something
like an airplane.
- Yeah. I don't even think we need an airplane to
get here but learning about the train system
might be a good idea.
- But how will I enter the train because I have no money?
I don't have a credit card.
- You do have a credit card. You have a little job
so you get some money. And you know what else?
Mom and dad can totally give you some money.
- Yes!
(laughs)
- We can totally do that.
- Yeah.
- We can totally help with that.
- Yeah.
- Nice.
- What does my love feel like?
- Wow!
- I know it's hard for you.
- That is a hard one.
Um, this is kind of a crazy answer. Listen to this.
Are you ready to hear it?
- Yes.
- Your love feels like, um,
a place to stand.
Your love feels like a place to stand on,
like a foundation.
Like a rock under my feet. That's what your love feels like.
Is that a funny way to describe love?
- Yes. I love that.
- You feel like a rock.
- I'm not a rock, I'm a human.
- You are not a rock, you are a human. But it feels
a little bit like a rock on my feet, under my feet
that I can stand on.
- Mhmmm.
- Yeah.
- Are you okay mom?
- I am okay, yeah.
See these tears. These ones are happy tears.
- I know.
- Yeah. Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Thanks mom.
- Why do you love me?
- I love you because um, the way you look,
the way that you shine, like,
you bring the world together.
And you, like, brighten my day.
You lifted my heart up and also, one more thing,
you lit up this studio because of these like lights.
And our camera girl/boy and Nick over there being livid.
- And that's why you love me?
- Yes, that is why.
- Yeah.
