TOTW 02/08: Was Lureen pregnant when she met Jack?
Artiste:
Thanks Katie!
So it was a movie! So what? You and I and others talk about it, right??
The casting was surely great!! Even for that child?? Do you ever think or search that??
Many questions still need to be raised and possibly solved about Lureen... including her child!!
Hugs!!
Artiste:
Thanks huntinbuddy!
Could it be that Lureen's mother knew that her daughter was pregnant before her time... if I may use that expression; surely??
Plus, her mother knew that Lureen was fooling around before Lureen ever met Jack??
What do you and others think?
Hugs!!

He probably had any toys and such he wanted with LD's money, and I always assumed Bobby was their first and ONLY grandchild. I think the Thanksgiving scene at the Twist home, was to show the viewers just how pissed Jack had become with the whole situation of his father-in-law spoiling the child. Jack took control of the situation and let LD have it that day. The comment LD made that "boys should watch football" was particularly irritating to Jack. I'm not sure if he said that to question Jack's masculinity, or to just be an asshole and try to run the family Thanksgiving show; but Jack told him how it was, and I was proud of how he did it.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if you were right about Bobby being spoiled by his grandparents.
And I've always wondered, too--where the heck did they get that name, Bobby (Robert?)? His father's name is Jack (John), and one grandfather is John (Twist) and the other is L.D., whatever those initials stand for. So where the heck did Bobby come from? :laugh:

It has always seemed to me that mothers and daughters have closer bonds than fathers and sons. Even in early 60's Texas, if Lureen had decided to be sexually active, nothing is going to stop that hormonal locomotive. There was no doubt in my mind when she had Jack in the car, she had already been there and done that! No gal whips off her top like that if everything is still intact down below, if you know what I mean. Now whether Lureen discussed her sex life with mom or not is questionable. I don't believe oral contraceptives came into existence until the early 70's? is that correct? So Mom might have had "the talk" with her, but considering the time period, and if she grew up on a ranch or farm, I highly doubt it. Sex was just not discussed. The only thing we know for sure is she has to have the car home by midnight!

No doubt L.D. suggested it....maybe it was his father's name.
