Quote #10
"Taylor, remember that time you were mad at me because you didn't want us to act like a family? That all we needed was a little dog named Spot? Well, don't get mad, but I told somebody that you and Turtle and Dwayne Ray were my family. Somebody at work said, 'Do you have family at home?' And I said, 'Sure,' without even thinking. I meant you all. Mainly I guess because we've been through hell and high water together. We know each other's good and bad sides, stuff nobody else knows." (7.165)
Aw, poor little Lou Ann, getting self-conscious about feeling close to Taylor. How does Taylor feel about Lou Ann's declaration of familial love? Is she now more comfortable thinking of Lou Ann and Dwayne Ray as family, or is she still haunted by terrible visions of Dagwood and Blondie? How has the perception of kinship, biological or otherwise, shifted between the first Blondie reference and this next spot of Spot?
