Something could be said about House addressing the Elephant in the room immediately. Instead of pretending not to notice the Mom is a dwarf. They could miss the solution while trying to be polite. Honestly the Mom is hot and has a personality. I could get over it.

It's actually, "How strong do you really want her to have to be" There is one more dimension to this rhetorical question... House is actually pleading to the mom to free her daughter from the obsession.

[@xjdisuehd]

Because he treated them normal.

[@jxdinglol]

"I want you to have what I can't." Man, its hard to argue with that one. She found the perfect words. She was a little bit stubborn at first about it but then House seeded that response perfectly with "how strong do you really want her to have to be?" and it all just made sense to her. How could you not want everything for your child? She's one of the very few characters in this show that could actually change their mind about something quickly without incessant pestering and badgering. Just one heartfelt sentiment from one freak to another was all it took.

[@jelvie726]

From a parent perspective, those words struck a cord. I want the world for my kid but were limited on what we can. What we can, there would be no hesitation for any parent. 💯
