  Group 4,  1A. The Watson family interacts with each other by messing around with each other. They like to joke around to. 1B.One character trait for the Watson family is unique, silly, reckless.  2. We think Daniel Watson is like this because By kissed himself in the mirror and he got stuck to the mirror by himself.  3. Yes, the dialogue is realistic because the mom talks with a southern accent like some people. Ex. On page 14 she say "What do y'all do when this happens up he'uh?". She talked like that because she got mad.
