[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.)
pffft all boys are dumb, i know this for a fact

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.
