But if I were stranded on an island and had no idea if I was going to be rescued, my thoughts would be, “Oh god, I’m going to die, I’m going to die, dear god, please don’t let me die, please, please don’t let me die, I’ll start going to church again if you let me live, what the fuck do I do, what did they do in The Cay and Island of the Blue Dolphins?”
LOL! That would be about how it would go if I was stranded too. Except I'm 100% certain I'd be dead before I'd ever be rescued.
She could become a member of PETA. Or become an activist, but not an activist that actually gets something accomplished. I feel like Dawn would have such a bad attitude when she’s crusading that she’d turn people away from her cause. I’m pretty sure she’ll grow up to throw paint on people in fur coats and try to shut down restaurants despite the fact that the restaurants are clean and don’t mistreat their employees. She’d just try to shut down restaurants because she doesn’t like the food they serve. I also feel like she wouldn’t do any research and would accuse a company of promoting unhealthy eating or animal abuse when a quick search would show that’s not what’s going on.
I could see Dawn doing all of that.
hey can just say that Dawn and Claudia say that the community center was offering sailing classes and thought it sounded like fun and decided to give it a try. Then after their adventure, they decided sailing wasn’t for them. The girls are allowed to explore other interests and decide it’s not their thing.
I wish they would have gone this route. Girls are allowed to have new interests.
So do the Kishis take an annual vacation or something?
Its funny because I remember Claudia's family going to either Vermont or New Hampshire I assumed they went there every year because on the trip after Mimi died Claudia mentioned going to a different spot.
I don’t think that two months of instruction is enough for you to be able to sail to a place by yourself.
Neither do I. But mostly because their both thirteen. Thirteen year olds shouldn't be sailing by themselves.
I’d root for Jaws, myself. Or maybe a kraken or the Loch Ness Monster.
LOL! That would have been awesome! Even more so if it ate Dawn. And some how Kristy and Karen.
I’m pretty sure Claudia always has failing grades on her report card. I’m pretty sure she blows off homework and gets D’s on tests most of the time.
That's the feeling I get too. She just doesn't care.
I just had the image of the relatives having someone over while a BSC member is reciting the history of the BSC. And the person is like, “What the fuck are they doing?” And Janine or Charlie will be like, “Oh, they just like to stare into space and recite the backstory of their friends and the club they formed. You get used to it.”
LOL! I can see that happening! And Janine or Charlie explaining!
Jenny never seemed bratty to me.
Me neither.
Why aren’t the parents doing that? Oh yeah,Jessi hates Aunt Cecelia and probably whined that she didn’t want Aunt Cecelia to watch her.
So her parents just give in? Their much more comfortable letting their eleven year old daughter watch their two other kids one who is a toddler? They can't just tell Jessi to deal with it, their the parents and put an adult in charge of their children?
“Ugh, she’s such a nosy jerk. She’s only asking how I am because she’s trying to kiss up to me and make me like her. And what kind of person says, “How’s it going?” Who does she think she’s fooling? She needs to act her own age.” I’ve honestly seen Dawn complaining about Carol saying “Oh, wow,” because apparently people her age shouldn’t say that. And if Carol ignored Dawn, Dawn would complain as well.
That's Dawn to a T.
He’s a freaking four-year old. What kind of dumbass thinks it’s a good idea to have a four year old on a boat with no adults? Also, are they going to be in the ocean?
Yep out on the ocean with four year old. That's so completely stupid. A four year old on a boat in the ocean with no adults.
Can the parents be charged with anything?
They really should be. Or turned into CPS for child endangerment.
My mom’s side of the family lives in Trinidad and sometimes we take a boat and go down the islands. It’s great. Being on the boat while it rushes through the water is exhilarating. The sight of the sea foaming white behind the boat is beautiful as well as seeing waves crash on rocks and zooming past green islands. We spend all day swimming on an island and pack picnic lunches. Last time we went to Trinidad we climbed up some rocks and saw crabs. We didn’t go swimming because the water was too cold. I always have a lot of fun.
That sounds like fun.
Actually, in these books, there’s usually a clear instigator in the fights. For example, when Mary Anne cut her hair, Dawn was the instigator and in the wrong. When Stacey blew off her job to flirt with Scott or dragged Claudia on the trip to hook up with Scott, she was in the wrong. Most of the time it’s not two people saying shit, it’s one person being an asshole for no reason.
Exactly, then never apologizing for anything they did wrong. Heck, they don't see that they did anything wrong.
Did it ever occur to Mary Anne that something could have happened? You’d think such a sweet, understanding person would at least wait to hear someone out. For all Mary Anne knows, something could have come up.
Most people would assume something came up and ask before assuming they were stood up
I just have the feeling Mary Anne will be the type of girlfriend who constantly accuses her boyfriend of cheating. I can just see her boyfriend going out for drinks with the guys and Mary Anne constantly texting him
So do I. She'd also be checking his cellphone and email for calls, texts and emails from other women. Even if it was his doctor or dentist she'd still assume he was cheating instead of getting a check up.
It sounds like Logan is mad that Mary Anne thinks he’d stand her up. Has he ever done that before?
Honestly, I don't think he ever has in the series. Its weird how quickly she jumped to that.
Have you tried crying, Mary Anne? Isn’t that how you get away with shit? Cry so that the person you treated like shit feels badly
Exactly, that's exactly what Mary Anne does. And gets away with it. All she has to do is cry. Hey, is this the first time that hasn't worked for her?
Dawn feels badly because Mary Anne and Logan had a fight and it was her fault. Dawn should have given Mary Anne the message, but it was an honest mistake. Mary Anne was the asshole who just immediately thought her boyfriend would stand her up and called to accuse him of that without even considering that something could have happened. As far as I’m concerned, the fight between Mary Anne and Logan is on Mary Anne. Dawn should have given the message, but Mary Anne could have called and asked what happened instead of immediately yelling at Logan.
I agree. As much as I'd love to blame Dawn for something. This really wasn't her fault. It was accident and Dawn even tried to cut in when Mary Anne was calling Logan to tell her what happened. The whole fight was Mary Anne's fault. And Logan really should be rethinking about dating Mary Anne give how quickly she jumped to assuming he stood her up. She didn't even ask if anything was wrong. Nope, she was certain she was stood up.
Mary Anne wishes Dawn would get out of her life for good. That’s a little bit dramatic. There are plenty of times Mary Anne could have wished this.
Yeah, where was this when Dawn was a psycho over her haircut?
what does salad without mayo mean? I just googled it and the results I’m getting are for potato salad,tuna salad, etc. Unless someone specifies what salad, my default for a salad is a salad with lettuce and other vegetables.
I've always wondered this. The only salads with mayo I think of are like you said potato salad, tuna or etc. Or I just assumed its a regular salad to throw dressing on top.
Why are the adults okay with this
This I would love to know. How are the parents okay with two thirteen year old girls with two months of lessons sailing to an island and back? How are they okay with them taking along kids (even though 13 year olds are kids) are even younger then them and one is four? Why aren't all the parents saying no? Why isn't the community center or who ever saying no and forbidding this.
LOL! That would be about how it would go if I was stranded too. Except I'm 100% certain I'd be dead before I'd ever be rescued.
