In "Three Hours a Week", M.E. claimed that the only thing about her book that was based in fact was the name Port Dixie. In "Where's the Justice in That?", the scene from the book that's being produced for the school play details the actual events of the day that M.E. and Rene met.
Rene: Yesterday, I caught April smoking a joint. April's mother: At least it's just weed. Rene: Today... April's mother: Look, it's not like I can keep taps on my daughter. I'm serving 10 years in here because my boyfriend was a dealer, at the time we were living together it was because I needed someone to help raise my kids. He pulled up a name so high and mighty, nothing I had to say about him meant jack. He cut a deal and got out after two years, does that sound fair to you? Now I got someone I don't even know telling me how to raise my kid.
After Rene catches April smoking a joint April: I get it, you're just worried about the election. Rene: The election is the furthest thing from my mind. You know you don't mix bipolar medicine with weed, of all the stupid things... April: Look, don't call me stupid! I'm not stupid! And I'm not gonna end up in prison like my mother! Rene: I thought she was just in rehab. April: Yeah...in prison.
