In order to not run out of things to do, she finds the longest way possible to do things:
- Filling the water pitcher up on glass at a time
- Washing the dishes in the bath tub, or washing, rinsing, drying and putting away each dish
- Ironing EVERYTHING: sheets, towels, napkins, underwear
- Organizing things by color, then by name, then by size
- Washing each piece of food (grapes, baby carrots, etc.)
Developing the scene:
The sister have one meal together every day or every week.
When Malorie "cooks," she typically just brings take out.
When Abigail "cooks," she typically makes finger food (PB&J sandwiches in various cookie-cutter-ed shapes, marshmallow kabobs, food that fits on tooth picks)
A confrontation occurs one night. Abigail is wearing a mad hatter costume.
"You've lost your muchness."
"Excuse me?"
"You've lost your muchness. ... You don't even remember..."
