Blue/gray divided family

A lot like a Hatfield/McCoy divided family, a blue/gray divided family isn't meant to be functional. As much as the more pretentious family members tend to hide the lack of civility for an everything's fine facade, a blue/gray divided family doesn't work out in the long run.

There was nobody left in the Hatfield/McCoy divided family after they all decided they would be the last family member standing, or every other family member was coming with them, which might have been for the best, as nobody would miss some of them. The blue/gray divided family next door snuck in surplus ammunition.

Goody two shoes

Someone who runs to their mother over shit they started ever since they were a little kid, since people don't change.

The goody two shoes looked like an angel in her mother's eyes only. She had a face only a mother could love (as her own father said of her when she was a young kid, in his words, and I quote).

Surrogate

A surrogate is a substitute.

A surrogate man/boyfriend/husband is a lot like a substitute teacher. The husband/teacher gets sick and the surrogate, like the substitute wonders what the fuck am I doing here and how do I teach these kids anything they're not mine? The surrogate is a lot like the substitute teacher who can't pronounce your name, everybody who meets a surrogate wants the real teacher/husband/man/boyfriend back quick.

Gravity

Gravity is kind of like reality, or the metaphysical, it doesn't matter whether you believe in it or not, what goes up will come down at some point.

Gravity is real whether you believe it is or not. You don't believe in god (despite using God's name to bless people), because you can't see God, but you can see what gravity does even if you don't believe in it.

The Family Man

A movie about a guy that gets a glimpse of alternate lives for supposedly not appreciating the one he has.

Don Cheadle makes people go from wating to laugh to wondering where is Spider Man in about 2 seconds when the cashier won't check his ticket in The Family Man.
