"Look, it's the weird kids. My mom said they had to move here because one of them got into some huge kind of trouble." (2.6)
Misery loves company, and although the Beaumonts separate themselves from other folks because of their differences, it brings them closer together as a family. Moments like these, hard as they can be, also can help you find your true friends and family.
Quote #2
It was hard for us Beaumont kids to make friends and keep them. It was unsafe to invite anyone over with Fish and Rocket still learning to scumble their savvies […]. (2.11)
You can't choose your family, right? There might be a bit of resentment in Mibs over the Beaumonts' situation. The savvy is the secret that keeps the family together, but it also isolates her from the outside world.
Quote #3
Since Rocket was Momma and Poppa's first child, and Poppa came from an ordinary, everyday family with no special talents except that of losing all their hair before turning thirty, Rocket feared that he'd take after Poppa […]. (4.16)
Family can make you crazy, but the Beaumonts special talents can make you even crazier. This gives some exposition on why Rocket has a chip on his shoulder about his savvy—he was fearful that he wouldn't get it in the first place.
