And then he sees his Father in his Santa Clause matter. Entering, and then leaving the house, this leads to the next piece of the plotline, Conflict. Instead of his dad leaving though, he puts on his best blue suit.
When Larry finally realizes the truth that his dad is staying, this still follows conflict, Larry gets, Jealous I would say. So he starts trying to get mom back on to Larry’s side, rather than Father’s side. But then all madness breaks loose. Larry wakes up dad, several times, and mom then orders him to go to bed. Soon after, his father complains. Mom says it’s a habit. So still following conflict, Larry screeches in order to keep possibly annoying dad. Dad jumps out of his bed and says in a serious way, “Shut up you Puppy!” No one had ever talked to Larry, so he yelled back. Father jumped out of his room, and responded “What did you just say”. He soon tells mom he needs his bottom smacked.
Then Larry said “Smack your own, Smack your own, SHUT UP!” then his father lost his patience. From there, Larry cried for 15 min. He soon fell asleep, but later woke up to breathing down his neck, he figured it was mom. But then he realized that it was father, mad as @$!#. As it says in the last two parts of the plotline: Conflict Resolved, and Normal everyday life, Larry gets his father to rap his arm around him, then finally, his dad is on his way to by him a Model Railway, which is the end of the short story: My Oedipus Home.
