I'm taking a break from watching one of the most frustrating
Let's Plays ever to watch Stephen and get some snarking done. I'm also really hungry but there's nothing good to eat and I'm too comfy with Jynxie. So, I'm 50% annoyed and 50% content. But it's kinda hard to stay mad with a fat, snoring kitty at your side. Warning, there's two boring sitting chapters and another character we'll never see again. Hold on to your butts.
Part 1! Chapter 6!
Maureen wakes up Stacey and tells her Mrs. G is calling her. Stacey rushes to the phone thinking either Tara or the pets are sick or hurt or something. But Mrs. G tells her that her diamond ring went missing. Mrs. G stumbles around, asking Stace if she 'borrowed' the ring. Stacey gets super indignant and says of course she didn't. Mrs. G asks to speak to her mother and Maureen says the same thing, that Stacey would never steal from anyone. Mrs. G asks to talk to Stacey again and tells her that she won't be hiring anyone from the BSC again and that she's gonna call other parents and let them know what happened. When she hangs up, Stacey bursts into tears and Maureen comforts her. Stacey of course, has to tell the Grand High Witch what's going on and she is pissed. And it leads to an emergency club meeting. Of course.
Chapter 7!
After her call, Stacey keeps having a bad day. One of the things she does is drop an egg and I unleash gales of laughter because that
stupid egg book was the stupidest thing ever. I want that on my headstone. 'Snarked Mary Anne + 2 Many Babies. Did not go insane.' She gets to the meeting and everyone is all grim. Stacey gives them the run down about what happened and they're all supportive of her. But inside she wonders about what they're thinking as she's been wanting a diamond ring. And you know, one thing I never understood was the idea of someone stealing something they wanted but would be unable to show off. Like let's say Stacey did steal the ring. What could she do with it? Just wear it in her room playing Pretty Pretty Princess? It just makes no sense to me.
When Stacey tells them about Mrs. G telling their clients about the incident, they get really worried. Here's another thing I wonder. How does Mrs. G know who their clients are? I can assume that one of them may have told her about them but how many can she really know? At the next BSC meeting, they hardly get any calls so of course they're sure Mrs. G wrecked their reputation. They do get a wrong number asking for the sewer treatment plant and I laugh because Kristy's right there. You had the right number guy! I mean, lady! By the end of the meeting they only got two calls from the Newtons and the Braddocks.
Chapter 8!
*sigh* MA sitting at the Prezziosos. Stacey says Jenny can be a bit of a brat because she likes doing things her own way. Yeah, what horror. And it's not like, oh Karen is the same way. Hell, the BSC is the same way. Hell, everybody is the same way. So, they're basically saying Jenny is a brat because she doesn't do everything the way they want her to do it. It's a pretty boring job then this brat named Joey Conklin shows up and brings the water hose inside while MA is distracted with Andrea. Who cares? I'm pretty sure he doesn't show up again. Outside this book I mean.
Chapter 9!
At another BSC meeting, they're getting no calls and Mrs. Soback calls to cancel a job she had set up. So of course, everyone is thinking it's because of the ring sitch even though there's a perfectly sound reason for them to do so.They get to talking about other times the club was in trouble and skim, skim, skim. They get another call to cancel and Claud nearly has a fit because it was her job and she's broke. Yeah, being broke sucks. And again, I really wonder what they usually charge for jobs because they're always buying clothes and shit. Does Ann not realise how expensive clothes are? Weren't they all awed by getting $3 an hour for sitting all those kids in Kristy's Big Day? It's like Ann's ideals are stuck in the 50s, her fashion in the 80s and her prices in the 1800s.
Chapter 10!
Another boring sitting chapter. It's Jessi sitting for her siblings and yeah...I still side eye that a bit. She hears a report on the radio about how there's a thief on the loose. This of course panics her so she does a bunch of stuff to prevent them from getting robbed. One of the things she does is throw a blanket over the TV and VCR. Uh, Jessi? Burglars aren't birds. Things don't stop existing to them because there's a blanket over it. You're uh...pretty dumb. Since that was dumb and boring let's dive in to my dumb folder.
