Mallory and the Trouble with Twins! Part The End!
I was so restless the other day and today was no better. I kept feeling like I should be being productive but nothing seemed enjoyable. I wanted to sew but just ended up spooling all my embroidery thread. I wanted to draw but did nothing. Finally I realised what I really wanted to do. I wanted to snark. So, here we are. And man, I gotta do

I'd say there's a better chance that Michelle Duggar knowing a damned thing about her kids.
Mal says she said it because they are cute. The twins are like, 'Oh! We didn't understand!' Uh, understand what? Exactly what was cleared up in Mal saying they are cute? 'You're cute!' 'How dare you!' 'You're actually cute!' 'Well, okay then!'
They're cure as individuals, not because they're twins.
I just hate that she calls it a 'line' when it's how she's feeling.
It's a line because it was spoken. It's not an emotion.
She also says picking out the same things is 'easy' and how fucking lazy can you get?
On what planet? It's not always easy finding two of the same thing in the same size. Linda's lying. She just likes treating her kids like toys. And...there she goes, admitting it.
Mal asks if she can take them on a shopping spree for new clothes and uh, Mal? You did your job. Kinda time to butt out.
I can give Mal leeway on this. Mal's struggling to get to her her own person too, and is probably thinking she can have that kind of fun through the girls. Plus she and the girls are closer than they are to their mother.
They tell her that they can't afford a new wardrobe and that she's too young for contacts, but they don't see why she can't get her haircut. If she pays for half. Really? Really?! You really can't pay for a full haircut?!
Those rich, greedy fucks. They can go to expensive tennis games, and surely they would need to buy her some clothes anyway. Maybe not a full wardrobe, but a few things. I had contacts in first grade. It's shitty that they're only willing to pay for half the haircut. I guess they never get Mal's hair cut. If they did, it wouldn't be a big deal to pay for the full thing. Supercuts was $5-$7 back then. I remember that clearly.
I never realised how unfair the Pikes treat her! They give her all the responsibility of raising her siblings but she can't say how she wants her hair cut or pick out her own clothes?! Good Lord, does Ann hate her!
Mal openly does hate Mal. It's sad, really, and explains why she outright bullies Mal.
I remember thinking she was a total baby because I had my ears pierced at a few months old. Mexicans.
We're powder-coated crackers in this house. The palest foundations and powders are still to dark. I'm also daywalking ginger, and my daughter's becoming a daywalking ginger too. My daughter's ears were pierced at ten months since the overwhelming majority of girls, and a large number of boys to boot, end up wanting their ears pierced anyway. It hurts less as a baby. As we age, we get more nerve endings in our ears. My daughter whined half a second with her first one, latched into a boob, and didn't react to the second. Since she didn't know they were there, she didn't play with them the way older kids do. No infections. Easy-peasy. And if she decides later she doesn't want them after all, just remove them and the holes will shrink and virtually disappear, like my second set did.
They said that no one could tell them apart and just called them 'Marilyn or Carolyn' so, I'm thinking they didn't.
They probably didn't only because they weren't allowed to have different things, and the only different hobby was piano. How could the kids have gotten a chance to know the girls individually when they were shoved so hard into identical molds?

EXACTLY!!!!!!!
Who makes a sweater as expensive as that for little kids?!
Oh dear. Someone doesn't have kids yet. One of my daughter's favorite catalogs has stuff far more expensive than that for kids. That's why I don't buy anything from it.
Mal says she's never seen them in pants before. Even though they were wearing jumpsuits in an earlier chapter.
Jumpsuits are usually baggy. Pants aren't as baggy.
They head to the ear piercing boutique and Jessi starts to get scared. Mal says it's no big deal, she's watched hundreds of people get their ears pierced and knows every move. She also says they 'freeze' your ears and uh...what?!
There's a spray that's more or less a placebo.
The clerk is like 'Okay, dealy-oh' and asks for no parental permission.
Also, even in the 80's and 90's, you had to have a legal guardian sign the consent form. When I got my second set of holes, I was 16, and my mother had to sign.
Claudia produces one of her own. That does not fucking happen, Ann! Besides the fact that the store wants to charge you for an earring, it needs to fit in the fucking piercing gun!
And it needs to be STERILE.
After that, they go around the mall enjoying themselves and I'll admit, I still love going to the mall.
I squee over the Disney Store. My daughter squees over Claire's. :)
At a BSC meeting, Mal is feeling pretty good about herself because she was able to change her earrings and she got her haircut.
So six weeks has passed...?
My hair used to be wavy and when I cut it short? It got curlier. Because it was lighter. I looked like Ellen Ripley.
My husband's hair looks like Aragorn's when it's longer. When it's shorter, he gets what everyone calls a Jew-fro. When it's even shorter, he looks like Corey Matthews.
Can we make a law that books must be written by writers from now on? Not 50s/boobs/teenager obsessed lizard people?
If only! Then EL James wouldn't put out any more Grey trash.
And I want to know what Claudia was smoking to think K. Ron would want some earrings made from-'little charms and strung together these wild bunches of miniature Coke cans, eyeglasses, forks, animals, you name it, and added feathers and beads'.
I think she didn't want to leave Kristy out, so used random shit she wasn't going to use on anything else.

Also, did you make a LOTR reference? I think you're my new BFF.
