This episode we do a rundown on the key stages of how breasts develop from the fetus to puberty. WITHOUT trying to spend too much time remembering how much of a horror show puberty was… Anyway, Brenda also found some statements about this process from across the internet and poses them to Frances throughout, and some of them are truly unhinged (Toothpaste?!). Making us want to reiterate, DO NOT believe everything you see on the internet.
