Do the Maxwells Ever Interact With People Under 50?


Trynn

In going through the book A Summer With The Moodys, I have noticed a pattern. My rough drafts that I've been posting are mainly of the Doody's neighbors and acquaintances and how they see the Doodys.

But the thing is, all the characters are too similar. Part of that may be that I'm not really that great at writing (yet), but part of it is that most characters the Doodys interact with in this book are described as being, "elderly," "old," "older man," "grandmotherly," etc.

I know that the Maxwells have a Church of the Holy Nursing Home, but do they never interact with people of different ages? Even the lady at the City Hall is old. Does Sarah truly never interact with anyone under the age of 50, besides her family members?

This is truly annoying. I might have to change some things around just for some variety. Which I'm still learning how to write anyway.

I think they interacted with people under the age of 50 back when they had conferences but I don't think they had any this year.

They do but they don't always write about it.  They've appeared on other funde blogs.

Sometimes, they've met the Duggars, and a few other fundie families, wasn't there a picture with one of Zsu's kids?

 

I think they prefer elderly people though, because what if the "kids" actually made a friend with someone their own age, how scandalous, they might start hanging out with them more than family! They might learn something inappropriate, like nursery rhyme lyrics.

I don't know. I don't keep up with the Duggar wedding threads that closely.

Oh yeah, you're right, I think I do remember a while back they met the Andersons at a conference they were holding, and Miriam took a picture with... I think it was Sarah?

I meant on a regular day to day basis, though. But I suppose you're right, when they used to do conferences.... I don't think there were any last year either.

      I keep getting almost identical conspiracy theories from both my extremely leftist family and the ones who’ve gone very right wing

      We have looney relatives on both sides of the political spectrum but the place they overlap is a desire to buy raw milk and organic foods. 
       

      I refuse to serve raw cow’s milk in my home but I grow a lot of veggies and fruits organically, so they usually don’t complain too much when at my house.

      I’m an American who loves Kath and Kim

      I don’t know what any of that is. 😅 I’m in Canada. But you just gave me something to Google for fun.

      I would go with Eponine, like in Les Misérables, and use Eppie as a nickname. I know FJ isn’t fond of nicknames, but in my family, it is a tradition.

      And now they sound like my right-wing, extremist, conspiracy theorist, Trump loving Aunt. 
       

      The media has its issues, but there are still lots of responsible, serious journalists out there. 

      I keep getting almost identical conspiracy theories from both my extremely leftist family and the ones who’ve gone very right wing. It’s pretty funny.
