Answer: Sweet, but eccentric

She is a kind woman with some interesting "quirks" that continue to annoy Birdee after she has moved back home.

She goes to the employment agency in town looking for work, and the woman working there turns out to be a former classmate who Birdee and her other popular friends made fun of.

Answer: True

This is a funny scene where Birdee tells him, "You stuck your tongue in my mouth! I didn't know you were supposed to do that. I thought you were an epileptic or something!"
