Mr. Fennimore
Today in health class: kisspeptin.
Garth
Wait. A KISSING peptide? I could sell that at the school dance.
Mr. Fennimore
It was discovered in a town famous for chocolate. So they named it after a chocolate kiss.
Theo
It's not for kissing, Garth. Kisspeptin is the signal that tells your brain it's time to start puberty.
Garth
Puberty? Turn it OFF! Turn it the fuck OFF!
Mr. Fennimore
You can't turn it off, Garth. It's the start button for growing up. Your voice changes.
Garth
My voice is NOT changing!
