More Emmett. Awww.
Also, Faye should get back to seeing her therapist, IMHO....
Farideh:
We don't actually know if Faye ever stopped going, although given the money trouble she and Bubbles have had, my guess would be 'yes'.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 14 Jun 2022, 02:53 ---I think that Jeph is hinting that Emmett may have some issues with wanting to please their mother. One moment, they're rebelling in secret and then reflexively saying stuff that Sam knows is untrue because... Why? They think that those responses will please some internal assumption of what they think their mother wants to hear?

Not presuming to speak for Emmett, but this is the way some kids behave. One of my daughters was always really terrified of upsetting us (when young, even saying her name in a mildly disapproving tone of voice was enough to make her burst out in tears; it was very hard to find methods of discipline that didn't provoke a wild over-reaction from her). As she grew older she would often tell us what she thought would make us happy, rather than the truth. We were able to help her grow out of that eventually, but even now she's reluctant to tell us things that she thinks we'll be even mildly upset or annoyed by, even though in probably 90% of those cases we aren't upset at all.
Not sure how related it is, but she was also the only one of our three who was ever an effective liar - the other two were always pretty easy to see through.
MMoyle:
I can't wait for Emmett to meet Hannelore - they'll have so much to talk about!

I mean, obviously your life is meaningless in the face of the universe. But why does that matter?
