More unfortunate pumpkin-based implications....

[dreadedcandiru2]

It seems to me that Lynn's muddled chronology will have a rather jarring side-effect this Valentine's Day weekend; that's because instead of Elly lying about hating to nag and Mike reminding her that her idea of cooperation is that she tells him what to do and he does it without question, we're probably in for the pumpkin-perfume-bottle-toss strip. This means that without intending to, Lynn is sending out a more troubling message than she originally did. It's bad enough that Elly is too stupid and self-loathing to recognize affection when it's staring her in the face without her ruining a Valentine's Day dinner on the town by having a great big argument about being oversensitive. It's too bad that the occasional bouts of lucidity wherein she almost starts to realize that her kids aren't a bunch of hellions who hate her and want to make her miserable don't extend to her realizing that John is simply a ham-fisted goof trying his damnedest to be a caring husband.
