(1980)</strong></a></h2><p><br></p><p>This episode is from our Patreon archives and originally aired in February of 2021 and remains one of our favorites of all time!</p><p><br></p><p>Twelve-year-old Amy Warner is the new kid on the block after she and her freshly-divorced mother move to California. All is fine until Amy meets Michelle Mudd, a tween who loves dogs, rainbows, shoplifting, and blood sacrifices. Amy grows concerned when Michelle attempts to cast a spell on her father’s new girlfriend and frames Amy for shoplifting at the local store. This is bonkers.&nbsp;We get an inside look at Jennie’s teenage bedroom, Amye revisits her brief life of crime, and we both agree that Charlie Chaplin posters have no place in a teenager’s bedroom. Oh, and there are a ton of creepy dolls. You’ve been warned.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Please note:</strong></p><p>As of May, 2023, there will be NO NEW content on <a href=\"www.patreon.com/genxthisiswhy\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">our patreon feed</a>.</p><p>You are welcome to sign up, listen to the archives- of which there are MANY, and then unsubscribe when finished.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Follow Gen X, This is Why on Facebook:<a href=\"http://https//www.facebook.com/genxthisiswhy/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> <u>facebook.com/genxthisiswhy/</u></a></p><p>Join our Facebook Group, The Me-Me B’s for extra content, giveaways, and some fun Gen X introspection:<a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/genxthisiswhy/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> <u>facebook.com/groups/genxthisiswhy/</u></a></p><p>And find us on Instagram at: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/genxthisiswhy/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>@genxthisiswhy</u></a></p><p>You can find Amye at: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/amyearcherwriter/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>@amyearcherwriter</u></a></p><p>You can find Jennie, but good luck with that.</p><p>Questions?
