This is one case where the passive voice yields unfortunate results. Look carefully at Ms. Mudd's dialog, then at Millie's last sentence. Who's "they"? The girls?

Am I the only one surprised Ms. Mudd isn't worried about the fact her daughter's doing unspecified experiments?

....WAIT A SECOND! You're new!!!!
Hey everyone, it's a newcomer!

*easily claims the first greeting*
Welcome to DC! Hope you have a good time here! My psychic readings tell me you recently turned 14, yes? In that case...

...Oh, and the comic was funny as well.

Astro> gforce's smiles can cure cancer in kittensgforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

Well, I think the "for saying that to me" is pretty explanatory. Plus, I don't think it matters to Millie if thei're girls or not. Anyone telling her that will have worms in their food, and that's what it is.This is one case where the passive voice yields unfortunate results. Look carefully at Ms. Mudd's dialog, then at Millie's last sentence. Who's "they"? The girls?
So I think "they" is pretty much the best word here.
