Maid Mary Anne! Part The End!
Hello, hello, dolls! How're you all? Things here are going good! I'm super happy because I grew a Jacob's Ladder on Animal Crossing which is hard to do. Now if only I could get some blue roses. I also went on a recent shopping spree and got girl clothes and books so I'm very happy. If any of you need books, check out ThriftBooks. Super cheap and free shipping! Anyways. Here's the last bit of the easiest snark I have yet to do. But even with an easy snark there's still...Dawn. It's funny, but baby's first snark was a Dawn book. And it was an early book before she reached peak bitchiality. And even they she had her repugnant moments. So, I stand by my word, she is the worst character ever! But let us not dwell on that. Let's read nice calming things. Well, let's go!
Part 1! Part 2!
-Song of the Day!-
Chapter 11!
MA goes downstairs to greet Logan who is drinking Orangina with Dawn. I've never had but I do know they have those freaky 'sexy' animal commercials, so I can see Dawn drinking it as she'd probably boink a dolphin. They all go out to the porch and Dawn is nosy and asks them what they're gonna do that day. MA says they'll take a picnic out to Lake Nevermentioned and swim and have their picnic. I'd say take Dawn with you in hopes that she gets one of those brain-eating amoebas but we all know she doesn't have a brain. She just has a hairless rat king that screeches constantly.
They pack a lunch which sounds way grody with pimento cheese sandwiches and cream cheese and jelly sandwiches and potato chips with salsa. With their gross picnic packed, they head out. But as they're going down the driveway, Dawn calls to MA saying Mrs. Towne is on the phone. MA gets the phone and Mrs. Towne tells her she needs some boxes from a high shelf and also a wasp is in the kitchen and she can't get it out. MA says she'll be right over. And again, Dawn is standing right there, ready to judge her. Since Dawn is acting a fool MA asks her how would she like being 'old and helpless and alone'? And Dawn says she's 'not into helpless'. Right. Unless there's a boy around to impress with her 'I'm just a stupid girl!' routine. Also, what a bitch. MA is pointing out that she's helping someone who can't help themselves at the moment and she still feels the need to shame her over it! Does Dawn just totally lack any and all compassion? Does she ever, for one single second, think of anyone who isn't her? Of course she doesn't! She's the worst person imaginable, remember?! Like I've said, I've yet to read a BSC book where Dawn isn't totally detestable.
MA goes to tell Logan that she needs to go help Mrs. Towne and he's not too happy but he agrees. When they get there, Mrs. Towne shows them to the kitchen where the wasp is. Logan says they'll get rid of it and MA asks him not to kill it. Now I'm a bleeding heart for bugs, but fuck wasps. I can see not wanting to kill a bee but wasps? They're mean little fuckers and I hate them. That's like saying 'Don't squash that mosquito!' Like, no. I'ma squash that little bastard and take a trophy picture with it's corpse. They take forever to get rid of the damned thing because they're too stupid to open a window. But they finally do and Mrs. Towne invites them to lunch to make up for calling them over. MA says they have a lunch packed and Mrs. Towne says why don't they eat it there. And again, MA can't turn her down and Logan agrees too.
After lunch, Logan hurries through helping cleaning up and MA says they should be going. Once they leave, MA can tell Logan is pissed and asks him what's the matter. He says he didn't expect them to spend their day at Mrs. Towne's. MA asks him just what he would have done in that situation but he doesn't answer. MA tries to make it up to him by suggesting they go to the park and hang out there. That night, MA does some heavy thinking about what's going on. She doesn't want to be selfish so she's helps Mrs. Towne. But she doesn't want to hurt Logan either. So, she's pretty caught in the middle of not knowing what to do. And that is a difficult situation. Maybe because I don't care about boys, but I would say Mrs. Towne comes first. Besides, it's painfully obvious that Mrs. Towne is just lonely and wants the company.
Chapter 12!
Okay, so there is one kiddie chapter I don't feel like covering. That's because it has nothing to do with the sewing class. Mal and Jessi are sitting for the Pike family ape children and nothing much of interest happens. Highlights include Mal And Jessi being squicked out by The Mummy movie. The original one. Now what was that complaint they always have? Something about being treated like babies? I'm drowning in the irony here. The other thing to point out is that Nicky is acting like a macho macho man, wearing a tool belt and saying he builds things. He's also wearing cut-offs which we all know are super manly.
Chapter 13!
At the BSC meeting, Jessi and Mal tell everyone about Nicky and his testosterone levels. MA is having a good time because she's hasn't been hanging around her friends. She actually says she misses Dawn. You know how you wouldn't miss Dawn? With a sniper rifle. I know I wouldn't. As they're all laughing over Nicky's injured ego, Mrs. Towne calls and asks if MA can come over. K. Ron is pissed of course and asks if it's an emergency. MA doesn't know but says she's sure it is so K. Ron grants her permission to leave. Because it's not like MA could have just left without K. Ron saying it was okay. MA goes to Mrs. Towne's house and finds out that it wasn't an emergency after all. She just needed a box from the basement. Mrs. Townes invites her to stay for tea and cookies but MA says she has to go home. When she leaves she feels tired, annoyed, and guilty.
At the next BSC meeting, Mrs. Towne calls again and this time MA asks her if it's an emergency. Mrs. Towne sounds hurt and admits it's not. MA feels bad and tells her she's on her way. Everyone gives her the ol' stinkeye and she beats feet. She wonders what everyone's problem with her being nice is. Keep thinking along those lines, MA. You'll see just how controlling your friends are. She starts thinking that maybe being nice is the easy way out. That just because you're being nice doesn't mean you're doing a good thing. This is hurting my head, so I'm skipping through this.
When she gets to Mrs. Towne's, she tells her they need to talk. MA tells her that she really enjoys her company and appreciates all she's taught her, but she can't just come over spur of the moment anymore. She says she has friends and responsibilities and she's been ignoring them to do things for her. Mrs. Towne is very understanding and admits she was calling her over because she was lonely and having her there reminded her of when her son would visit. She says they should go back to MA paying for her lessons with cash money. She also says she's been thinking of hiring a housekeeper to help her around the house. MA says she'll still make regular visits and does Mrs. Towne ever show up again? I sorta doubt it.
Chapter 14!
At the sewing class, everyone is putting together the quilt. Claudia is talking about doing a junk food inspired quilt but no one is really listening to her. As they're working something outside keeps making a lot of noise. First on the porch then out back. They finally catch Nicky and Buddy sneaking and peeking around. They ask them what they're up to and the boys say they were just seeing how things were going. MA invites them inside and they check out the quilt. MA delicately steps around the issues by saying maybe the boys would like to work on their next quilt. They don't know about that and MA says doing some things are hard when you're being teased. They admit that some kid named Clarence Morris has been teasing them and that he's a little shitty pain in the ass. He also teased Buddy about his bike and Nicky about his parents not knowing what a condom is.
Claudia points out that this Clarence is just an asshole and likes to pick on people. Nicky says that he'll just ignore him. MA says if Clarence is just a jackass who will tease them regardless, maybe they'd like to help finish up the quilt? They're hesitant about it, but once everyone starts working, they sneak in some help till they're working on the quilt too. And again, this book is just so...pleasant! I'm glad that the boys are seeing that they don't have to adhere to stupid gender norms! I enjoy reading about people sewing! It makes me realise how much I love to sew! Just little things like threading needles makes me happy! What is with this book?!
Chapter 15!
The quilt is all finished up and it turns out Buddy and Nicky finished their patches, so MA substitutes hers for them. They wrap up the quilt and head for Mrs. Towne's. Mrs. Towne is doing much better, her cast is off and she no longer needs a cane. They give the quilt and she's very touched and everyone's happy. Mrs. Towne offers them lemonade and cookies and tells MA to stay put, she'll get everything set up. And that's probably the last we'll ever see of her. Goodnight, Mrs. Towne, may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
That night, MA is enjoying her free time when Dawn comes into her room to ruin that happy moment. MA tells her she was so worried about being selfish she was making herself miserable. Dawn tells her she doesn't think she's selfish even though it was her stupid flippant remark that made MA think she was selfish in the first place. And while MA has done self-centred things before, there is no one, NO ONE, as self-centred and selfish as Dawn. So, if anyone is going to say someone isn't a self-centred asshole, Dawn would be the expert on the subject. Dawn starts talking about her favourite subject, herself and I skip to the end. Because I really, really hate Dawn.
And that's a wrap! Up next will be Farewell, Dawn and Claudia Gets Her Guy and any requests y'all have! Sorry this wasn't the snarkiest snark but I promise the next one will be filled with good ol' fashioned vitriol. Because if there's one thing I love, it's getting rid of Dawn. Till next time! Thanks for reading!
