michael said:Seriously, why wouldn't she?
I'm looking for really good excuses.
It's the main thing that irks me from KOTCS.
The Man said:It could be argued that she simply couldn't bring herself to burst the bubble of happy family life with Colin* and wee Henry. Certain logic to that, albeit deceitful.
*Of course, after he died, turning to Ox for paternal guidance and NOT the actual father is alarming. Did she Indy as that deadbeat a Dad? Hmmm...

JuniorJones said:She try to not inflict Mutt on the world!
Then along came a skull...The Drifter said:Like some others have said. Marion wanted a stable life for herself, and her son. She knew how stir-crazy Indiana was. How he went off to every corner of the world in search of some bit of junk, how he lacked any sort of commitment (remember how she said he dumped her), and after the skyboy, Ox was the safest bet. He may have been boring, but she knew he wouldn't have the same care-free traits as Indy.

Along Came Jones, by the Coasters...
And then along came Jones
Tall thin Jones
Slow-walkin' Jones
Slow-talkin' Jones
Along came long, lean, lanky Jones
michael said:All valid points, but if he KNEW of Mutt, he may have calmed down on all of his recklessness. And it's the fact that she didn't try that makes it all the worse. She didn't even think he would change if he knew he had a son, what gives Marion, what gives.
And what if he died in WWII ?!! Then Mutt would've never known who he was. Both would've been tremendously sad accounts.

Montana Smith said:However, KOTCS was so sloppy that after a few mock arguments she was all over him again, ending with that soppy marriage.

michael said:Gives Jones a chance, let him know. EVERYTHING changes when you got a kid, right?
I would trust Indy to do the RIGHT thing.Junior Jones said:The number of single-parent households in our culture argues against that.
