Your screen name makes me half-seriously hope that, at the start of chapter 2, Karen tells her daughter:

"Use your fork, dear. Use your fork!"

Author's Response:

lol.  That's a good one.  Thanks for commenting.  I almost would write that, though the next chapter is about done.  Those lines would fit seamlessly into the text, but if the daughter replied, "The fork is strong with you, Mom," and then James said, "I feel a disturbance in the fork," -- well, then people would get suspicious.
