Later, Angela messes with the peas, mashed potatoes, and meatloaf on her dinner plate, and rests her sullen elbow on the table, and her sullen head on her sullen hand. That never would have been allowed at my house. AVO says, "I cannot bring myself to eat a well-balanced meal in front of my mother. It just means too much to her. I mean, if you stop to think about, like, chewing? What it really is? How people just do it, in public." The camera pans around to show Patty, her husband Graham, and Angela's ten-year-old sister Danielle. The silence is broken by the not-at-all obtrusive sound of Graham trying to connect with his teenaged daughter: "Wait. Don't tell me! There's something different." Danielle snorts, "I would never dye my hair red." Defensively, Angela informs her, "It's not red. It's Crimson Glow." Graham says, "Ohh, well, I can see it now -- the social whirl! Wild parties! Axl Rose!" AVO explains, "My dad thinks every person in the world is having more fun than him. Which could be true." Word. I don't know how much fun would be possible for a person married to Patty. You can tell that, off-camera, Patty just shot him a nasty-ass look, because Graham defensively asks, "What am I supposed to say?" Patty insists, "Nothing!" "I mean, it's her hair!" Graham adds. "Exactly," Patty agrees, adding sweetly, "And, we'll always be able to spot you in a crowd." Angela seemingly can't even muster the conviction to scowl back, but AVO tells a different story: "Lately, I can't even look at my mother without wanting to stab her repeatedly." Angela stabs at her meatloaf with her fork to punctuate her voice-over. Patty notices, but says nothing. My mom is a lot like Patty. And we had these kinds of Mexican standoffs throughout my adolescence, mostly because we're so much alike. ["Roger that, and roger the stabbing impulse also." -- Sars]
