The one where April is thoughtless and selfish because she enjoys a song instead of giving the gift of silence to her mother and grandmother.

Panel 1: We start things off with April playing Frosty The Snowman on the tape player and singing along loudly.

Panel 2: We zoom out to watch Marian and Elly comment on this. Marian leads off by exaggerating the number of times that April has played the song she loves and hints at a basic inability to understand children when she fails to understand that children love to repeat things.

Panel 3: She does, however, remember that at that ahe, Elly did the same thing and killed the old record player they had. Elly knows this.

Panel 4: Since children's behavior is a baffling mystery and a burden and probably caused by a hatred od and will to destroy mothers, both agree that it's a shame that they make things so well.

Summary: We're starting to see where Elly gets her complete inability to understand children from. It's genetic. Marian's bio hints broadly that she ruined Elly because she refused to understand children.
