epitome of incomprehensibility
|
Her mother doesn't like the TV contestant's voice. "Why does he have to whine?" The daughter thinks, at first: "Why do you have to..." and then stops because homophobia isn't a verb. The mother seems to complain about all the gay male contestants' voices, and not all of them whine. Maybe anything feminine-seeming coming out of a guy face disturbs her strangeness feelers. The daughter has strangeness feelers too, but they're elsewhere. Probably in her stomach, intestines, and the bottoms of her feet. The mother goes away for a week partly because an electrician has to repair wires at the cottage. (Not a pick-up cottage, speaking of which. A cottage you have to tear apart to get to the wires.) The daughter watches the TV show alone and thinks, "Yes, he does whine too much... You're making yourself look bad. Stop whining." The daughter whines too much.
