I have a question for you all today.
What sorts of things do you do with your families?
Or did, in case they're not here, you no longer lived with them at home, etc.
Did you have many family outings?
Did you stay at home and watch television together?
Did you play card games or board games or something?
How did you enjoy your time together?

Or...tell me about them maybe...
Do you live with both of your parents?
Do you have any siblings?
Are you the oldest or the youngest?

...I guess I actually have a lot of questions.
Sorry about that.

Ah...
I didn't mean to hit a nerve, if I did.

The Stepford Wives.
It's a book about a town of women who are so normal and complacent, the heroine begins suspecting they're all robots.
It kind of feels that way with some of the families here, only replace the women with entire households.

No problem, it was a long time ago. A really, really long time ago.

Can't say I've heard of it, but I think that's the case for a lot of things most people consider commonplace.

I wonder if they have the Pokemon equivalent here.
I've never looked, but I may have to now.
And yes, I suppose that's true.
Still though.
They creep me out.

I've kinda learned to ignore them for the most part. It helps that the place's packed with normal people as well.

...Depending on your definition of 'normal'.

I should try and do that.
But they're a great source for information about the area you're in.

I like having all the 'normal' people around too.
