Questions about the episode Mothers Day

In the first half of the episode does it seem like the mom was a little TO friendly with her son? I know it was part of the dream he was having but it just seemed a little creepy to me after he tells her he's accidentally killed her husband and shes all ok with it and tells him they just needed a house and now things can go back to the way they used to be just the two of them...

Also, in the second half of the episode when the radio shrink is in jail and "Wendy" keeps calling her we hear her yelling at the doctor in a chipmunk voice, and right before the doctor hangs up on her I could have sworn she yells F YOU! into the phone, the chipmunk voice makes it kind of hard to hear but that's what it sounds like. This show really got away with alot of stuff like that come to think of it. Am I the only one who caught this?

What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about??? ô¿ô

No I don't think there was anything creepy about the first half, it was just a son wanting his mom back, and wanting it like it used to be.

I never noticed it about the 2nd part.

BUT I also have a question about Mother's Day.

When her daughter calls the first time and uses a fake name, her mother does NOT recognize her, and she calls her Weepy Wendy, then at the end of the conversation the daughter says "Thanks Mom!!" and at that point it dawns on the mother that it's her daughter..... Well later on in the episode when she keeps calling back, the mother says, "No I hope it's not that Weep Wendy girl again!" Wouldn't she have known, at that point, that she was her daughter?

Question your prejudices.

Good point. Trying to separate the dreams from reality in the Freddy universe give me a headache, it's like trying to figure out the concept of time travel in the Terminator movies.

Or was it showing that she was such an uncaring mother that she had already forgotten that it was her daughter?
