Hello, Mallory! Part The End!

[road_baby]

Oh, my gosh! I am the worst! I'm sorry this is yet another late snark! I was just having this rush of creativity and doing nothing but drawing all day! But because I have a backlog of drawing that I need to Photoshop and I seem to have lost my tablet cable, I was like 'road_baby! Finish your damned snark!' so, here we are! And if you would give my

Mal wists that she wished the BSC could see how well she handled it. --I get it. Mallory obviously likes and admires these girls so damn much and she really was hoping she'd belong, fit in, etc. I just wish Mallory had somebody in her life to tell her that friends don't treat you as horribly as these girls treat her. And I'm going beyond the shitty treatment from this book...I'm talking the entire Mallory timeline.

Jessi says they don't need the BSC which is true.--Thank you, Jessi. I just wish both of you would've kept this point of view.

After that they get a call from Comrade Napoleon--*rolls eyes*

She asks how they run their club and accuses them of copying the BSC.--Please have whoever picked up the phone reply back with a cutting comeback of "Do you really think your little club is the first babysitting club that EVER existed?" Somebody really needs to take some needles to these girls and pop a few of their balloons in order to bring them down to planet earth.

Now I have a soft spot for shitty things.--haha, same. I'll just edit in for my case it being a case of people think it's shitty. I remember the first time I watched "Showgirls" and I just fell in love with it. I know the movie was slammed all over the place for being so horrible but I really enjoyed it. And that's just one example. I've had so many things over the years where I got the reaction of "I can't believe you like this."

K. Ron says they need another member--Of course I know Mallory and Jessi join but I really wish they'd both told the club to go to hell. Maybe Mallory and Jessi's club would've been in the middle between the BSC and the We <3 Kids Club. We're not as anal as the BSC but we actually have sense enough to use a calender for that year.

Anyways, K. Ron says they screwed up--Maybe I'm a bitch and I'll admit it right off the bat. This means nothing to me. Would you be having this same discussion if you weren't getting swamped? Doubt it. It's not a case of having this discussion to begin with or having the discussion even if you weren't being swamped. Nope, we need something so let's go talk to Mallory again.

Mal mentions something interesting when she says that since the other girls are older, they probably won't be all that close friends with them.--Nailed it.

They have groups of best friends, but aren't all besties.--I'm in that group. I just can't imagine the groups of friends mixing. I'm really used to core groups of Kristy/Mary Anne, Mary Anne Dawn, Stacey/Claudia, Mallory/Jessi.

They're plebs.--Take your place on the floor! I know that might seem like such a minor thing to point out but it still seems shitty Mallory and Jessi sat on the floor damn near all the time. Couldn't some moveable chairs be brought in for both of them? Couldn't Mallory and Jessi get the bed or desk chair while a couple of the older members sat on the floor?

I would be...hesitant about leaving the house with an 11 year old in charge when a repairman comes over.--I wouldn't be comfortable in that situation to begin with.

Either book would be fine with me. I enjoyed the snark btw. :)

Yeah, this is two books after book 12, where the BSC were total asses to Claudia for having a life outside of them and Claudia had to apologize. I know some people are capable of recognizing they've done something wrong and wanting to make amends, but this series is notorious for making the wronged party apologize. It would have meant more if the BSC realized that they were unfair to Mallory when they didn't need her. Now it just seems like it's a case of, "We're swamped and I guess Mallory will be more willing to accept our lame ass apology instead of telling us to fuck off."

Mallory's sole purpose in the series is to be put through torture. I too wish someone had said to her that she doesn't need to be a part of a group whose first response was to bully her. I feel the same is true for Mary Anne and Claudia when the club was treating them like garbage over nothing.

K. Ron really is up her ass about her 'great idea'. How can she think that thinking of the BSC was that big of an idea? And let's say Jessi and Mal were meeting on different days than the BSC. Would they still be copying? Offering your baby-sitting services isn't patented to you, you brat.

Come to think of it, the word 'sorry' never left K. Ron's lips. She just said they were unfair with their test. And yeah, I also doubt they would have asked Mal to join if they weren't strapped for members. That's a very good point.

Glad you enjoyed the snark!
