"I guess that must be awful tough for you, Chick. I don't think I even remember mine."
* * * * * * * * * *
I suppose Darby has vague early memories of some blob shaped thing floating at the edge of his vision as his mother hugged him and that's why he's unsure if he remembers his dad or not. It could have been his dad. Or it could have been a curtain blowing at the window. But at least Darby misses his dad as much as he misses that curtain. The best part about having your dad leave before you can make memories is you wind up never knowing a difference.
Although this makes me wonder: what happened to their mothers? And how did Darby wind up aboard Inconvenience?
Those questions only matter if Darby and Chick aren't the ghosts of dead kids. If they're actually dead kids recruited by the fallen angel Randolph St. Cosmo, just forget the questions. Their mothers are probably crying their eyes out somewhere about their poor dead babies.
