Reaction
Given how Tonya's mom has acted so far, what do you think she's thinking right now after unexpectedly seeing a baby fly? Do you think she'll accept what she's seen, or do you think she's more the type to look for a "logical" explanation for the phenomenon? How does that compare to what Tonya's sister is probably thinking?

As for the sister, I can't tell how old she is, she looks a lot taller than Tonya but her reaction to "light baby" was pretty immature in what she said and did. If she's young enough she won't freak out because her sister isn't and you can't let a sibling one up you like that. If she's old enough then: cue the overly panicked young adult in... 3... 2... |

Yeah, Tonya's sister looks like she's in her late teens--she's about as tall as their mom--but her personality is very lighthearted and immature. (And she has little partial piggie tails!) Actually for a long time I didn't realize that people actually do throw babies, because we never did anything like that in our family, but some of my friends and extended family did that all the time with babies and I was surprised. And of course I wondered what would happen if somebody did that to a certain flying baby.  Edit: Look, Katelyn flying.  |

Actually the mom seems rather sensible in this episode - the kind of adult that in a Lewis or L'Engle epic myth can accept the strange reality quickly enough to be a real asset to the team. One (anthropological) definition of "myth" is a story where the ordinary world touches another world. Hence this story is a myth. Note that this definition of "myth" has nothing to do with being fiction or non-fiction - unless your world view precludes the possibility of other worlds, in which case you are unlikely to be one of those sensible adults who don't totally freak out when caught up in a mythic adventure.
Note that materialists can be the sensible type - they just model the strange with a sci-fi as opposed to supernatural theme. Although with parallel worlds and virtual realities, there is very little difference these days.
