Karen's Plane Trip (1-6)

[syphabelnades]

This is the ONLY Karen book I have that I have not snarked (either on this account or my old one). It also might as well have been named Karen's Culture Shock, rather than Karen's plane trip. The plane trip, which is both on the cover and in the back cover summary, lasts for all of a chapter and a half. The actual plot of the book is Karen

(they get one, courtesy of Seth, in a later book, however. Along with a VCR)--Not sure how I feel about that. I think it's different if they're talking about "Oh, I'd like to get a tv and vcr but I don't see how I can afford to do that right now." or something along those lines. But if you're dealing with people that don't watch tv...it just seems like a waste. This is something that's only going to be gathering dust instead of being used.

Karen's just like "you people suck for only having one phone and for having no TV, CD player, and stereo system." --Okay, already made comments about tv. Music seems to be my thing. I love a variety of music and some of it's polar opposites of each other. I can go to youtube right now and pull up a Britney Spears song, then pull up a Falco song, and then pull up a Kate Bush song, and then pull up a Ratt song. But I can listen to music when I get home on my tape player, cd player or the radio. I'm here to visit my grandparents would be my line of thinking. What do they do for fun? I sincerely doubt the grandparents are like the people from the Alfred Hitchcock Hour episode "The Jar" and you have a bunch of people sitting and staring at the contents of a jar as if they were watching tv.

It makes me wonder if anybody warned Karen that she should bring along a lot of puzzle books and books in order to entertain herself since there's no tv, cd player, etc?

Enjoying the snark! :)
