[cynicalboo]

It's long. It's boring. I did try. And I am very bored at work this week, in case you can't tell.

haha I had a good laugh as well! I was a little confused at the Peaches reference-- I thought it might be the Kishi's dog, and I guess there was an "epidemic" in San Francisco (California) recently where all these Asians were stealing neighborhood dogs from Golden Gate Park and eating them (dog is a delicacy to some Asian decent, I think Filipinos?) and people were freaking out, so the "Claud does her homework, eats chocolate, doesn’t eat Peaches and then goes to eat a romantic, candle lit dinner for two with Janine. Claudia eats a lot." made me LOL. hahahaha. thanks for the entertainment!! loved it :)

I flick an M&M between Claud’s eyes.

Don't flick an M&M between Claud's eyes! Use a slingshot!

The doorbell goes and it’s Russ, Peaches and Lyn…..uh-oh! You’re in trouble.

So why the hell were they there? Didn't Claudia say she wanted special time with Janine? Granted she was lying, but I think it'd be quite rude to show up like that when you've been told No, I don't want to hang out with you guys tonight. It's not like Peaches could hear the party in the background and got suspicious.

Skylar is crying and when they return to the house, Mary Anne pretends the keys are lost. Bill and Melody work together to find a way in and look for the missing key. In the meanwhile, Mary Anne drops it onto Skylar’s stroller. Which is stupid and irresponsible in my head. Well, maybe it isn’t...

No, you're right. How old is Skylar? If she's young enough to need a stroller, then she's young enough to put something in her mouth and swallow (Skylar is a girl, right? I don't remember. Damn unisex names always trying to confuse me!).

The girls have always favoured girls in BSC. I don't know why. Maybe it's rooting for the underdog, but I always found the babysat-for boys less annoying than the girls. Maybe because of the favouritism. I guess all-boy families are okay with them, but if a boy has an sister (always a younger sister, because girls are ALWAYS the youngest) she gets favoured. Except in some sibling cases. Jessi seems to be equal with Becca and Squirt, and Mal hates her siblings on the same level. Karen, of course, is to be favoured above all others.

I guess Jamie might be an exception, because his sister is a baby and they're both abandoned all the time while their mother goes down the street to read a sign she can't read from her house.

I think 21 kids could get the house in a state. I remember 13-year olds, and being 13. 13-year-olds are monsters, even supervised.

Not all the sisters were younger. Haley Braddock is older than Matt, Norman Hill's evil sister is older, and there are several others.

Gah, I didn't know about Norman's sister. She should be locked in a room with Karen.

True, but it seems like almost all the babies are girls. Skylar (except for that one where the ghostie refers to her as a HIM), Lucy, Andrea, Marnie, Laura, Emily, Eleanor Marshall. Well, there's Squirt, but that's all I can think of.

I hated the way the Bill/Melody thing was resolved. She was being a nasty little brat to Bill and was rewarded for it. The Kormans should have grounded them both until they agreed to at least be civil to each other.

But AMM's determination to make the girl always come out on top wins over good parenting.

WORD. As an older kid this kind of thing really pisses me off.
