The one where Elly lacks the self-awareness to admit that she actually is an angry jerk lashing out at her children because it actually is HER responsibility to take care of them.
Synopsis: When Elly reminds John that April is being punished for not even being two quite yet, John tries to explain that she doesn't know what she was doing; Elly's response is to thought-bubble that yes, she does.
Summary: If Elly were to admit that kids weren't trying to destroy her and that people make mistakes without intending to destroy her, she'd be left with a variant of the arms dealer's lament: "What am I supposed to do with this anger and disappointment?"
