Christopher Van Winkle: 3 years, 1930-1933
CHRIS: I’m sorry I haven’t been at work in a while, sir. I seem to have nodded off.
BOSS: Don’t worry about a thing; I’ve married your wife and adopted your sons.
Richard Van Winkle: 1 year, 1955-1956
RICHARD: Oh crap, I’m late for work again.
MRS: You’ve been asleep for a year, honey. You’re a year late for work.
RICHARD: Why didn’t you wake me up?! How can you keep letting me do this?
MRS. JONES: Oh, right, it’s my fault. Not your bizarre hereditary illness.

So you’ve probably noticed your mother and I fighting a lot lately. All the time, actually. Yes, Emily, even when we’re not yelling, we’re still fighting. In fact, the non-yelling fights are worst. So cold. So hopeless. Oh so hopeless. More hateful than anything you’ll ever know, though they did usually take place in front of you, in your bedrooms. Or your classrooms—I don't know why we did that.
