This is slightly selfish of him to ask. It sounds so stupid in his mind, but his mind is clear, "I mean all I've got is chocolate and tater tots and I guess kids need to eat other stuff besides that."
He laughs weakly, "That's a joke."
The thing in the jar.
The thing in the jar twitches and the jar moves with a clunk and Eddie's eyes go wide. He moves himself between Anne and the thing, his body a broad wall between the two of them - but the thing is still.
He's breathing hard and heavy but when the thing doesn't move he swallows, "...Maybe half a joke. Quarter of."
"I'm giving that thing to the New Life Foundation tomorrow." But he sounds so regretful. It's palpable.
