Corwood, you've set off shivers of sympathy off in me.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ah, it's all Freudian ancient history. Think of what Hitchcock could've done with it, though!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
HOW. HOW DID YOU GET HIM TO USE THE THING???????????????
Honey - ship her here for two weeks this summer. When you have her back, she'll be potty trained.
Better yet, I'll take two weeks this summer and bring Em. We'll help you get settled after the move.
And at some point, leave Pete and P alone with both girls for hours while you and Jilli and I shop.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yep. In my hometown, you drank and blew shit up until you were old enough to drive. Then you drove out to a different field to drink and blow shit up, and maybe take a baseball bat to some mailboxes on the way home for a little something different.
So, this is common, then? That sounds just like where she's from.
If that was directed at me and not at the potty-training, I'm sure it was all in my head.
It's doesn't matter -- scary is scary!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Yeah, but it's good for kids to deal with scary--especially all-in-the-head scary, because then they learn you can be scared and keep going. That's an important lesson. Parents have to keep kids safe but allow them to face real fear and conquer it. You parents have a TOUGH JOB.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Drank, smoked up, and burned things. Then we drove to the river or to the shale heaps and gravel pits and drank, smoked up, and burned things. So yeah, I'd say common.

I'm still creeped out by Bruce Springsteen singing "I'm On Fire," because when I first heard it I thought it was actually about a man sneaking into a little girl's room and something about a knife etc etc.

That's why kids need German fairytales.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
and I half worry that she would stop to look at something or think about something and forget to go all the way to school.
Yes, I believe this was a major concern of my mother's. Don't think it ever actually happened though.
