At 39 minutes….
They say “rumpus room”…
I was suprised that was in this list.
1980’s also the era of broken families and look at the banned item list.
To me, the rumpus room represents a lack of parenting.
Like after a divorce and remarriage, or where they lost custody of the child.
After a divorce the lost parent was replaced by a rumpus room.
In my story the rumpus room was also a candy store meant to keep the kids busy after a bad divorce to replace a parent.
A story I know of I mean.
Years later I remember seeing the room, painted only on one side to represent a candy store.
All falling down years later in an empty room.
I mean, to please a new step father.
He runs the candy store in the rumpus room for the mother while they start the new marriage without the children.
Not my life, the story makes me vomit and sounds like broken homes, kidnapping and neglect stories.
