Born This Way: Bonus: Megan’s First Wax (Season 2, Episode 6) | A&E

1. Megan's laugh is so contagious!

2. Shes Beautiful

3. Get a job

4. Guess Megan forgot about that tip

5. I just love Megan she is so adorable and sweet. Although her mom needs to give her some personal space.

6. Notice the mercy edit where they cut from Megan hopelessly staring at a bunch of bills in her hands with her adorable chubby cheeks to all of a sudden Megan is holding $40. She has no idea she's holding $40, which is why she still ends up looking bad when her mom has to tell her its $40 instead of $25. But also apparently they don't get a tip b/c Megan never learned how to add 20% to the $40. Jesus, could you imagine trying to explain percentages to Megan or Shawn. Shawn would stand with his mouth open drooling. Megan would stand with her duck lips together and her pudgy cheeks and eyeballs frozen in place. Lol

7. Learning to read with phonics at a very low grade level is one thing. They literally CAN teach 2yr olds to read with phonics. But most kids don't start to do simple addition until age 6 or 7. And Megan is NOT as smart as a normal 6yr old. She NEVER WILL BE. So SADLY megan did her best to stall and pretend like the crumpled up Bills were what was slowing her down. Just because mentally she is only 3yrs old doesn't mean she's not slick enough to try and cover up for her lack of intelligence. Shawn does the same thing. If you look closely, the producers take pity on Megan and cut from her beginning to fail miserably to her mom handing her $40. Sadly they still had to show megan not having any clue how to count, b/c instead of silently taking the $40, megan took one $20 then took the other $20 and said out loud that she now had $25. Meaning she SERIOUSLY THOUGHT 20+20=25. Of course she had no idea her mom handed her $40. All Megan can do is recognize a number when written down. So unless there was a $40 bill, there is NO WAY Megan would ever have known her mom gave her $40. Megan, or ANY PERSON WITH DOWN SYNDROME CANNOT DO SIMPLE ADDITION OR SUBTRACTION. It's just a simple fact. It's not up to me. What I wanna know is why do they embarrass and torture Megan by thinking she somehow magically will overcome her mental disability with positive thinking?

8. It's so sad, Megan's mom got caught up in the propaganda so much that she actually thought there was a chance her daughter could count to 40. OF COURSE MEGAN CAN'T COUNT TO 40!

9. More Team Rocket hat at Dodger game do they teach you different but judges are so oh, don't be stupid to people who different thank you nocturnal, don't be t people who

10. Mom''s just loving pain in the butt

11. Sweet receptionist

12. i love Sean's mom and dad about the best but cannot help but to think that they look alike… are they related?

13. You're so cool Meghan

14. I was a part time house parent (I had a full time job also) at a group home of adult mentally handicapped and my husband was full time. Even though I loved each and everyone in our home and on the show, the show kind of sugarcoats situations. Some had violent tendencies, one hit me in the stomach when I was 6 months pregnant, some would steal from the other clients and destroy their things and you know they are adults and have adult urges, boy/girl, boy/boy and girl/girl. They have to be watched closely too. Not all was like this, we had great, family times. We’d have games we’d play, cookouts, road trips to zoos (very interesting during mating season!)😱 We’d go out to the lake and watch when huge groups of bald headed eagles hanging out a few days and pelicans too! I’d do sewing for them if something ripped, if they were sick we’d take care of them, would teach the girls how to shave their underarms and legs without butchering themselves. We celebrated all holidays together and all would decorate and if they wanted to fix up their rooms with pictures, nicknacks, different designed bedroom decor, etc. They ought to learn to and have their voices to in what they want to decorate rooms and what clothes they want to wear. Just wished this show brought out real life situations than to just show mild instances. You don’t love them any less you just know you’re there to help them conquer real life. You can learn new things to from dealing with these situations. Good luck to you all!

15. Megan’s my cousin! 🙂

17. Give the kid a debit card for Christ sake

18. $40??! Seriously?!

19. Why would she think she needed this? Buying into others peoples insecurities. Mother is not doing her any favour! This is not part of being a woman, this is going into societies standards of a woman. Mom is putting a great burden on her to be perfect And what mom considers normal.

20. Isn't it kind of creepy that men like women with hairless legs like creepy because children don't have hair on their legs and women or men to have hair on their legs it keeps them warm and it was your professional swimmer no one should care if your parents on your legs it just means you're mature

21. This was probably the last time this show was honest. It was this honesty that made the show so good. But each new season the show became more propaganda, attempting to get the public to believe people with DS are capable of independence or just like normal people. It's a lovely idea, but there is a reason Shawn's mommy forces California to provide Shawn a 24/7 nanny and pay his rent and pay for his healthcare and living expenses. The show stopped showing the reality of having DS, and tried to use the magic of TV to imply they could achieve independence and live normal lives if they wanted. But it's just not true. That's why the final season took 2yrs to hobble together 6 episodes that was basically a wedding and Megan and Rachel staring at each other in a rented mansion the few hours their parents dared to leave them with just the show's crew. It was adorable b/c Rachel is adorable. I mean who didn't love how Rachel's hair looked the one time she did it herself? And who didn't love how adorable Rachel looked with her little backpack on as she left the house to walk down the driveway to meet the special bus that came to the house to take her to her pretend 2hr/day job. It's so cute that the bus has to come to the house because she'd totally get lost if she had to walk anywhere to meet it. And it was funny how Megan literally did nothing but sleep late and eat the prepared meals her mommy left her and talk to herself about how amazing she is while eating potato chips. It was funny – but they got about 10 minutes of footage from the entire time they "lived" there. It's because the show had become entirely fake. And there was no hilarious love triangle to get funny footage out of any more. I mean who can forget Shawn's love letter he made with crayons at daycare to win over Megan. And how HILARIOUS his face was when she rejected him! Hahahaha

22. This honestly warms my whole heart so much. My little sister has downsydrome and she is such a dreamer and such a romantic, she has so many goals and so many desires and it pains me to know that a lot of the time she doesn’t believe in herself because too many ppl have made her feel like she won’t make it because of DS, it’s shows like this that encourage me to keep fighting for her and to keep pushing her & it’s shows like this that will remind her and others that having downsydrome does not limit you. It only gives you more opportunity. I love this & support this so much 💗

23. She is soooooo sweet

24. She said I'm not rich YET okay sis speak that positivity into existence girl

25. I think that it’s great that her mother makes her pay for it and has her count the money. She could have made things easier on her and just done it herself but instead she let Megan do it so she can keep learning those important life skills

26. Oh my gosh she’s precious!!!

27. Megan is so adorable

28. lol my cousin with down syndrome met her

29. 40.00 dollars for a leg waxing it's too much?! I have never have a leg waxing before..

30. Love this show when does it come back on

31. I love my show born this way I what To be in one

32. Her mother really needs to find a system or a way for Megan to count money or calculate her money. I've seen too many times Megan struggling with the money situation. Or give her a debit card or something Idk.

33. she shoulda got dat puzzy waxed

34. I love the show and watch it religiously, I even got other members of my family watching it. I tell my son that I wish I was younger because Megan would be my girlfriend. She just has that special something going on. I love her willingness to be independent and a successful businesswoman. I admire the love she has for her mother and her ability to sense when her mom doesn’t agree with something she’s about to do or get into. My heart just melts when she looks into her moms eyes and tells her everything’s alright in so many words, I also love her laugh and to see her happy with her friends.

35. Jaitnc
    Megan

36. Ugggh cringe! $40 to remove hair from legs?!!!

37. I don’t remember this episode.

38. Love you Megan n your mom.. your mom is such amazing mom… ox

39. I love how megan has a super tiny head and super chubby cheeks. It sucks that she was so embarrassed about having no idea how to count that she didn't tip at all. And no normal person is gonna call out a disabled person for not tipping. They feel sorry for her already.

40. Magan looks Beautiful.

41. She is perfect and beautiful I love her so much
