Ok.. sorry, maybe i’m dense… wasn’t chucky pretty evil?, and why isn’t Rosemary in a longer parent teacher conference, who is Damien and is Foster referring to a foster child. Usually i get these, but maybe i’m just a bit obtuse today.
a quick google of “damien evil child” reveals he’s the main character in the movie “the omen.”
see…not hard.
Just a little confusing because Damien is the child, but Rosemary is not. And I know Chucky had a bride, but I don’t know about a child.
On the other hand, I just had Parent-Teacher conferences a week ago and . . . .
Rosemary = mother of Satan’s spawn (“Rosemary’s Baby”)
Damien = The son of the devil (“The Omen”)
Chucky = Evil, possessed doll (“Child’s Play” Series)
Foster = Elijah Wood? (“The Good Son??”)
I’m not sure how to follow this one either.
Yeah, sorry. Even understanding most of the references (still not sure about Foster), I can’t figure out how to read the graph.
Perhaps not a movie character, but the more generic ‘foster child’?
Hmm… or maybe they’re not meant to be references at all (except damien), and instead is a commentary on how sweet-looking little girls are more likely to get away with being nasty?
(I say this only because Rosemary is a girls’ name. They’re all just names, you see.)
Perhaps Chucky from the Rugrats?
I think it’s just different name’s tendacies to sound “evil” or “innocent”.
maybe chucky is referring to the kid who owned the doll. the adults all thought he was crazy for saying his doll killed people, but he wasn’t evil.
where’s the young dick cheney on this?
Or the young george bush?
Chucky was bad…the kid wasn’t. But the kid got blamed for what Chucky did.
Still don’t get Foster and Rosemary.
Foster of Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends?
It could also be Chucky from Rugrats.
Chucky makes sense in terms of the evilness of the child being low, but the P-T conference being long, because the doll was evil, not the child, so there was a lot of esplainin’ (oops, wrong genre) to do.
Rosemary’s baby’s name was Adrian. Apples, oranges?
Chucky is Chucky from the series with John Ritter, Problem Child, not the doll.
I love this, and i am being a stickler, but you’ve got your dependent and independent axes mixed up. The length of the conference relies on the evilness, not the other way around.
Wow, ya’ll are dense. It very obviously says “Evilness of CHILD”. (Emphasis mine.) Rosemary was a character in Rosemary’s baby. Her child was VERY evil, but a baby, so no conference. Damien from The Omen was an extremely evil child and of school age, hence his position. Chucky is a doll from the movie Childs Play, but the child HIMSELF was not evil, and was ‘misunderstood’. So he gets low evil, long conference. Foster is referring to just that, a foster child.
The reason some foster children have that status is because they are getting it from their dad…

@Dana: Ooooh – crass.
But no, this really doesn’t hang together well. They can’t all be home runs.
Jessica is right. @Dana – the foster child doesn’t “get it from his dad” – he doesn’t have a dad or mom around, so no parent-teacher conference.
You guys think way too much into it.
I’m not even kidding you: There was a woman in my La Leche League group who named one of her boys Damien and one of them Cain.
Did she ride a broom?
Meh, I read it as this,
The lengthyness of the conference had to do with blaming the parents for the nastyness of their child, partially do to their choice of name which reflects their parenting skill.
So a parent who names there kid after the most evil damien from the omen gets a good lengthy what were you thinking lecture. While a parent with a perfectly innocent kid named chucky after chucky gets another decently long lecture.
Meanwhile even though rosemary is evil incarnate, the parents were nice enough.
. . . Ofcourse, I suppose those are all common names anyway. Sniff.
