This spilled glass of milk represents Brooke’s awakening. Brooke had already recognized that Paul’s family acted differently from hers because they talked and laughed with each other during dinner instead of fighting. When Paul’s father Lou did not get angry when Joseph unintentionally spilled his glass of milk, Brooke knew for sure that her family was not normal.
