hmmf, we’re still eating dinner apparently.
(again, this is kinda what made me nervous about “jumping in time” from the “they pass out” to the “they’re eating dinner, later”. i don’t think I’ve done that before with the family story. They usually play out fairly close-together little vignettes, in sets of three).
(i think. my memory does suck balls though. so. maybe i’m just distorting)
uhhh,
insights here:
none. really. I mean. It’s meant to be creepy that sweet little beastly Timmy is totally unaware that cannibalism shouldn’t be suggested. … uh, if it’s not clear: he’s asking if they should eat his sister’s baby.
I honestly thought this would be a kind of cute thing for the father to have to teach his son. … Now that I see it, it seems really kinda creepy.
maybe i’ve crossed the ‘tonal’ line again.
(hard not to remember last years derail into cannibalism and child abuse).
but. I mean. It won’t be going there. probably. I just thought it fun to kind of say “maybe it will be going there.”
… yeah, this is probably tonally off. needs to be lighter. ehhh. i’ll dwell on this later. if you have ideas, let me knowwwww!
