Status Updates From Song for a Whale

Okay. Obviously, you shouldn't go on a trip with your grandmother to Alaska as a minor, specifically when there are concerns about your grandmother's mental and physical health. However, I feel like this is a very obvious point and there is a very clear reason why this choice was made (resolving two stories at the same time).

"Me? Go where?"
"I just chugged the last of the milk and then told Mom I'd go out to pick up more."
I jumped up and slid into my shoes. Milk wasn't the only thing we'd be picking up.” I think that is amazing

How do I all ready relate to this character so much I’m not deaf but I also think Nina is the most annoying person ever and I do love sign language!
