Because Stupid Little Girls in their forties like her do the stupid little girl thing of assuming that being around a child will rot her brain.

I want to know which jobs Elly is referring to that she has "too much education" for. I want to hear her say "I'd apply for this job, but as a college dropout I am overqualified."

The only thing Elly has the business being is a greeter at Sprawl-Mart....but she'd balk at the idea.

"But I've been working day and night on..."

Elly, enough. If you've been working "day and night" on these projects, it's because you are a disorganized idiot, not because the projects are enormous. And as soon as this conversation is over, what are you doing? Shelving books. Which means that anything you "need" to get done by the end of the month is not going to get done because you spent that time on busywork and feeling sorry for yourself.

The woman blames her children for her bullheaded insistence on churning out her crap when they need her to be their mother.

Lt. Drevin: "Ma'm I promise you this: We are going to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to find your husband's killer. Ok boys, now let's get some lunch."

we KNOW Librarian Who Isn't Sue is up to something, she just complimented Elly's butt ugly 1846 farm woman dress.

Since Elly is stoooopid and useless, she doesn't see anything coming.

"sees good in everyone"?? Elly is always putting people down!

April has Stockholm Syndrome.

In my experience, "I try to see the good in everyone" is the common refrain of people who ignore blaring alarms and waving red flags because they are too lazy to do anything about them. It's an attempt to put a halo on a self-created Victim.

It's also a nifty way to denigrate and dismiss the people futilely trying to pull Elly's head out of her ass crack. They can only see the bad in people.

yes, somehow the people who ignored the warnings because they were not convenient are made to be the Good Guys of the story because their Great Big Hearts refused to see what was staring them in the face.

Meanwhile, there seems to be no reason at all that April says that she cannot be trusted to listen.

Furthermore, the need to not admit to being a gullible sap who gets warm in the secret spots when contemplating the idea of being a respected mentor:

She seemed to self destruct for some reason. I guess I'll never know what made her do the things she did, but it's up to the justice system and perhaps support groups to help straighten her out.

or even notice how her self-contained shortsightedness alienated The Creature marches in lockstep with the poor grasp of social norms that cause we fungus people to think of Elly as an alien sent to observe human behavior. Check out her reaction to Mrs Maguire not giving a rat's ass what Becky buys:

She recently went on a spending spree with her friend Becky who has her mom's credit card! Becky doesn't have to pay the monthly bill, nor does she pay for the cell phone that's surgically attached to her ear. After blowing $80 of her hard earned cash on fad fashions and a set of fake fingernails, April was unable to join her cronies for fast food and films, unfortunately! April now has some dollar ( ... )
