Little Sister #27: Karen's Big Joke

Sep 27, 2011 19:12

I thought I'd start off with a pretty easy LS book before I moved on to the BSC books that I've got in my possession. I know I read this one as a kid (I ordered it from Scholastic, I believe, and it came with this set of jokes you could play on friends) but it's been a long while. I tried for several minutes to put a picture of the cover in my post ( Read more... )

Karen is such a brat. She needs to be issued a few hundred reality checks. Your snark is brilliance.

Whoa whoa whoa WHOA. A four-year-old and a two-year-old, washing a car? Who the fuck decided on that?!

Charlie was helping them. And actually from the sound of it, they actually end up having more of water fight than actually cleaning.

To be fair, if that eight-year-old was Karen I'd want to teach her a lesson too...

I thought of that, too, actually, but everyone in the BSC/LS universe seems to see Karen as this little angel...

You have to feel so sorry for Ms Coleman and the gymnastics teacher. I swear to god that kid needs ritalin and someone to teach her that contractions are okay. I mean, the lack of them pissed me off when I read them as a kid, and they would drive me INSANE now. (And nowadays, a child psych would probably interpret such formal language coming from a kid as an indication of some kind of autism spectrum disorder).

Reading these recaps and remembering these books, I'm pretty sure I can blame every bratty thing I ever did as a child on Ann M. Martin, including a series of ill-advised April Fool jokes. That's it, I'm never letting my kids read anything! They'll get TV and like it!

Oh, dammit. Well, I guess they'll just watch endless repeats of Star Trek on DVD, then. I could deal with them trying to destroy the space-time continuum a la Wesley Crusher every now and again, I think. I could even let them read the Star Trek version of the BSC:

If Karen was a Jedi Initiate at the Jedi Temple, she'd be off to the agricorps before she could say "Padawan." Luckily for the Jedi, they are spared of her insanity... Don't know why I said that though. It just popped into my head, so I thought I'd share.

I can't stand Karen. I once wrote a fanfic in which she died while Kristy was baby-sitting...Yeah, I was cruel. Everyone was sad at first, then once they got used to the peace and quiet, it was like Karen never existed. Yep, I was evil to Karen then. Unfortunately, I lost the fic.

Great snark btw! This is my first comment on the snarks, but I've been reading alot of them lately :). You guys really opened my eyes at how controling Kristy is and how annoying everyone thought that being from New York meant you were sophisticated.

Or she'd be sent off to that barge that Obi-Wan got sent off to. Serves her right.
