Chicken Little Page #2

Hi, Tiffany! Hey, man, what's goin' on?

So, what do you think?

OK, listen.

You said the sky was falling.

Your dad didn't support you. I...

And you have been hurting inside ever since, right?

It's hurt. It stung. OK? It's hurt, but... Yes.

That's the nutshell. OK. Yes, but...

No. Buh-buh... But, it's...

What's got to happen now is the nut needs to be cracked open.

And not one little chip at a time, but... bam!

Smash! Bits of emotion flying everywhere! Anger! Frustration!

Denial! Fear! Deep depression, in fact!

You see what I'm saying?

Uh...

All right, forget the nut part. Here's the main thing.

You have got to stop messing around, and deal with the problem.

OK, yes, but... Here's the real solution.

You and your dad talk-talk-talking... closure!

Closure? Closure, talking about something until it's resolved.

Wait! Hold on! See? Look.

There's a whole section about it in this month's Modern Mallard.

Incredibly appropriate! I told you, I have a plan.

Yeah, but according to Cosmo Duck, you should "stop the squawk and try the talk."

Beautiful Duckling says, "Avoiding closure with your parents can cause early molting."

See? Closure.

Repeat after me. You, your dad, talk-talk...

Abby, listen! Talking's a waste of time.

I got to do something great so my dad doesn't think I'm such a loser.

Come on. You are not a loser.

You're inventive and resourceful and funny and cute and...

What?

Yeah... uh, Runt!

Should Chicken Little have a good talk with his dad and clear the air or keep searching for Band-Aid solutions and never deal with the problem?

Band-Aid solutions!

Runt! Well, I'm sorry!

I'm very bad at reading facial cues.

Fish, help me out here.

Men.

'T was beauty that killed the beast.

I guess only girls are good at honest communication and sensitivity.

That does it! We were in a time-out, Foxy!

Prepare to hurt. And I don't mean emotionally, like I do.

Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow!

Whoa!

We will save you!

Fall back! Mad goose!

Chicken Little!

Not showing up for class, inappropriate school attire, Not showing up for class, inappropriate school attire, picking fights in gym class and the fire alarm?

Ever since that "sky falling" incident, he's been nothing but trouble!

Now look, Buck.

You know I have the utmost respect for you.

I mean, you were Buck "Ace" Cluck, our school baseball star.

But let's face the facts.

Your kid, he's nothing like you at all.

OK.

Thank you for talking to me. I'll take care of my son.

I... Dad, it wasn't my fault.

It was Foxy. She's always... All right. It's fine.

You don't have to explain anything.

Uh...

Uh... Hey, Dad?

I was thinkin'. Yeah, what if I?
