We'll Always Have NYC or #51, Stacey's Ex-Best Friend

Jul 02, 2009 14:41

Longtime lurker, first-time poster here. I've been wanting to recap a BSC for a while, and I hit the motherload at a recent used book sale. Stacey as always my fave, so I just had to pop my recap cherry on a Stacey book! I chose #51, "Stacey's Ex-Best Friend." I know it's been recapped here before (and 'twas an excellent recap, too), but it's ( Read more... )

I don't really have anything to snark here because this kind of tomfoolery actually sounds pretty authentic--I can totally see some "I'm so grown-up now" tween doing that, although they'd probably abandon it after realizing the three extra syllables are not worth the effort.

Oh, definitely. Like when I tried to have people call me by my middle name, but gave up because nobody went for it.

When I was eleven, nobody had boyfriends but the popular girls and all it meant was that you held hands at recess and slow-danced surfer-style to Paula Abdul's "Rush, Rush" which they played at every damn dance multiple times.

Going to the roller rink or the movies together was the height of true love when I was in middle school.

In reference to the twins picture - what movie/show is that from? Just curious. :)

Stacey hears Laine say the word "childish" and assumes she's referring to their babysitting clients.I want to bash Stacey for being naive, but in fairness, kids that age ARE pretty naive when it comes to their friends. So reality points ( ... )

Re: Stacey listening in on Laine: I guess I just found it a bit strange to equate "childish" (when used in the context of Stacey's friends) with baby-sitting clients, but ehhhhh maybe it's just me. For the most part Stacey's reactions were believable.

And the twins picture is from Skins, which I'm currently slightly obsesso over. It's such the anti-BSC/SVH lol.

I've seen it happen, parents falling out when their kids have an arguement. Best memory from Year 10 is two mothers screaming at each other in the carpark after their kids broke up about what a slut the daughter was and how she was going to get the son charged with statutory rape. The rest of the year thought it was hysterical, while the two kids in question were DYING of embarrassment. (because who doesn't want their mother shouting out their sex life across the school?)

Ultimate irony? It was just a blip in their relationship, they're now married with three kids and the mothers STILL hate each other with a holy passion. The wedding was hysterical to watch. (thankfully the couple by that point had got past embarrassment and now find it just as funny as their friends do)

Is it bad I find that kinda awesomely funny?

Well if its bad, then the couple in question are bad because THEY find it awesomely funny. (well the only time she didn't find it funny was when they were arguing over her in the labor room. She kicked them both out then) Its gone beyond depressing to funny for them now, its the only option.
