“At the dinner table...
CALVIN, looking like an x-ray version of himself:
Bombarded by high energy photons, Calvin is transformed into a living x-ray.
CALVIN:
Although this condition will facilitate future medical diagnoses, it does make Calvin's presence at the dinner table a disgusting ordeal.
CALVIN:
Everyone can see Calvin's food being ground into mushy pulp and swallowed!
At this moment, Calvin chews up a large spoonful of creamed corn!
CALVIN'S DAD, leaning in at the dinner table:

You think we want to SEE that?
CALVIN, physically back to normal, except that his mouth is open amazingly wide, with full view of his current mouthful:
MKGHH!
SMACK!
BLAGHKH!”
― Yukon Ho!

“There was no light coming from under the door. I put my ear to the door and I immediately felt sick all over again. I must have known all along, before I walked back to the car and sat there waiting.”
