[A grin breaks out over Max's face at Eddie's high pitched reaction. Exactly what she'd been hoping for. She pulls the pack from the shelf, waving it in the air.]
Wait, you don't think I can finish this by myself?
[Never doubt a young person's appetite or metabloism. As for health concerns...]
And everyone tells me I'm too thin. [Everyone referring to exactly two people - her parents.] So eating these is a good thing, right?
[Look, Eddie, she's opening the pack right in front of you.]
I'm pretty sure there's some carrots in the fridge you can eat.
(Eddie could get caught up in his own thoughts far too easily, but thankfully he could get just as easily wrenched out of them. Kind of a benefit to being a kid.
He outright scoffs. Like literally if this was a comic the noise he just made would be emphasized by a speech-bubble with the word SCOFFS in it.)
Oh please. I've lived with Chloe for long enough that I know girls are weird endless voids for food. That's exactly why I don't want you getting the whole thing.
(Whoever said girls don't eat as much as boys clearly never lived with women. His mom also was a bit of an eater too, to say the least...
Eddie gives a loud sniff, hands dropping to his hips. He assumes Chronic Bitch Position. The likes of which had made Richie in the past accuse him of having certain feminine hygiene products shoved up certain body parts Eddie didn't have.)
Carrots are disgusting. They cause infertility. Probably. (Not that he cares about having kids, but the point still stands that they should be avoided.)
Besides. Don't girls want to be thin? That's why they're always on dumb diets.
[Okay, that earns a laugh. Endless voids of food? Fair enough. But when you grow up with Joyce's cooking, you learn to appreciate the tasty side of life.
Her expression tightens at the infertility comment because what? Is that and has it ever been a thing? And oh boy, he's got a lot to learn if he thinks being thin is the primary goal here.]
No. [She says firmly at the last comment.] Girls want Oreos.
[Yup, she's eating one Eddie. Take a good look at this Oreo being bitten in half. Didn't even bother with milk or anything. She deliberately talks with her mouth full.
.....Gosh this household is turning her into some sort of barbarian.]
(Eddie knew all about that. Just look at his mother. She might have been paranoid about Eddie's health, but that health had never really seemed to revolve around any food-related health issues. Granted, back in the fifties, dietary things weren't quite as in the know as they are now. Who woulda thunk that eating ten pounds of chocolate cake wasn't great for you?
Eddie's mouth is pinched up so thinly it might as well be non existent.
Then of course his face warps into one of outright dislike.)
That's disgusting! (Why! Was he! Always! Surrounded! By gross people!!!
And by his own choice half the time.
Eddie looks almost more offended at being asked to be polite than the mouth-full thing. Almost. But he was just a kid and this sort of thing still kind of worked on him. They didn't call them the magic words for nothing after all.
So, the kid grimaces, mutters some less than favorable words under his breath, and begrudgingly hangs his head back in defeat.)
Oh for Christ's sake.....Fine. Can you please give me some cookies? (He will eventually think to actually have a proper introduction here in a second, but priorities.)

Since you asked so nicely... Here, have a seat.
[She sits at the nearby kitchen table and nudges the chair next to her, placing the pack of Oreos somewhere in between.]
You know, if you're willing to sit with this dull girl.
