To answer your question, Delaneys' is the plural possessive of Delaney. As in, the Delaneys' house is the house of the Delaneys. Delaney's would indicate the home of a single person named Delaney. Delaney Delaney Delaney. It doesn't even look like a word anymore.
Claudia then says that she thinks Mal should have as many jobs as she can handle. Great. Load all of the work on Mal. Not like John and Dee don't already do that. How will she take care of her own siblings when she's off babysitting for other kids? On the other hand, if she's going to be run ragged taking care of kids, at least this way she's getting paid! And if the other kids are as serious about this Pike Club business as they say they are, they won't mind pitching in with the chores and cleaning up their own spills and cutting their own damn crusts off instead of sitting on their chuffs waiting for Mallory's maid service.
Now that I've watched The Apprentice, I'm now picturing the Delaney mansion as Donald Rump's tackorama apartment. Also, the word "mansion" always makes me think of the Playboy mansion.
And yeah, I get being honest with kids about relevant shit, but the babysitter's dad's employment status does not fall into the category of "relevant" in my book.

Well, John and Dee are expecting Mal to babysit for the kids when John's at job interviews and Dee's at work. (They really should have thought about this better.)
My mom gave all her old-school Barbies to my cousins who, of course, promptly lost them. Add that to the fact that my dad threw out most of the stuff he brought back from his time in Japan and you're left with me going, "THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS" to my parents.
But anyway, I too only every got stuff on Christmas/birthdays usually. It was that or, "buy it yourself." The buy it yourself thing has made giving me gifts quite difficult lately since I buy what I want now that I have money...
It always seemed so unprofessional to me that Stacey showed up in a bikini at a sitting job. I dunno. It just skeeved me out. Doesn't she have a tank suit? Oh, well it is Stacey so I guess not.
And I would have been so tempted to tell that little brat about all the animals that get put to sleep and all birth defects that occur with pure bred animals and puppy mills while they're spending stupid amounts of money on ONE cat. But then I'd depress myself and that's how kids end up drowned.
Oh yeah, I agree about Stacey. I can tell what was going through her head: "What? The Delaneys got a pool? Mallory can't work that day? I'LL take that job! Nothing like laying out by a pool in a rich neighborhood and getting paid for it."
I was going to bring up the plural thingy, but I see it's been cleared up. Thankfully Japanese doesn't have a plural so I never had to deal with that in school much at all! :D
Anyhoo- Who the hell would have though Karen would save the day? Though in her mind she probably realized she wasn't the center of attention and had to quickly solve that problem. I'm also still laughing every time I scroll up the page and see that Finn picture after you mention Karen.
And who thinks Coke and Oreos go together? That's like a cavity, nasty breath explosion. Oreos dunked in milk until they're soggy however... *Daydreams*
