Mary Anne is crying because the doll looks so limp and lifeless.--haha, they must've been fucking with people towards the end of this series. I can cut Mary Anne a break for crying during pet commercials that feature abused animals. Those ads can be upsetting especially if you love animals. But stuff like this? Geez, way to run the trait into the ground. "We haven't had Mary Anne cry on this page yet."

Yes to all of this. I don't think she cried nearly as much or as often in the earlier books, IIRC.

And honestly, if I were a BSC client and knew MA cried so much/often, I wouldn't want her babysitting my kids. I hate to say this, but I'd think someone maybe had issues if they cried that much, and maybe they shouldn't be in charge of young children.

I am also LOL'ing at the 'date' of MA and Logan at the department store. I think it's weird and so impractical. Camping gear is expensive, and you can't/shouldn't just buy the first shirt or tent or whatever you see! You need to see if it's lightweight, if you can fit in your backpack, if it can dry quickly and so on.

OH MY GOD A DEMON HEADMASTER REFERENCE. <3

Mary Anne meanwhile feels nauseated (she says nauseous, but I’m pretty sure it is Dawn who is nauseous in this book) and Dawn compares Mary Anne’s anxiety about blood and injury and death to Dawn’s feelings about seeing a pork chop. Shut up, Dawn.
So...Mary Anne should go up to a severely injured person and lecture them about what a terrible person they are for getting injured?

Okay, the thing is, it is pretty clear from the end of the book that Logan hasn’t really talked to his parents at all, and in BSC-world, that’s a super-fast bandage solution. But it rubs me the wrong way that Mary Anne and Dawn completely dismiss and ignore his own experiences of his family, and are proven RIGHT by the text. That’s kind of a shitty message.
ALL OF THIS.

On the other hand, Lerangis tells us that when Mary Anne starts to cry she “sounds like a vacuum cleaner that had just sucked up a stuffed animal”I always appreciate when a ghostie snarks something for us ( ... )

This book is so effed up, I don't even know where to begin. Like I can't even...words. Although I nearly died laughing at the mental image of Kristy rolling down a burning hallway, bumping into everything in sight while everyone else exits the building like normal people. But then again, I'm also appalled that she was in charge of teaching fire safety to children, so I don't know what to think ( ... )

Well, I thought the outdoors part would be treated badly by Lerangis and Ann, and I was right! First, he should be going by whatever list the camp gave him, not the one his mother made (since the camp people would actually know what he needs). Also, why are they shopping at a department store for outdoors gear? That's like the real world equivalent of me shopping at Macy's for one of my geology field trips. That makes no sense. Also, if it's a wilderness survival thing, I'd be less worried about buying the clothes (and the type of clothes he'd need are not at Belairs, they'd be at a sporting goods store if he's going for speciality-or jeans and a t-shirt (what I wore)) and more worried about buying the actual gear. Because I'm pretty sure that unless the camp provides everything, he's probably going to need one of the backpacking backpacks, something like a camelback or at least a couple of liter water bottles (or some sort of water filtration? I'm not sure how much of this is a water at base camp versus no water at base camp ( ... )

hahaha, the list is like "button down shirt, tank top, bug spray, white socks, sunglasses. . ." Maybe he IS going to get eaten by a bear.

Dawn compares Mary Anne’s anxiety about blood and injury and death to Dawn’s feelings about seeing a pork chop. Shut up, Dawn.

Oh my God. SHUT UP, Dawn!! People like this kill me. It's not the same thing! If you compare human suffering to a cut of meat, you are a shit head! I'm sorry but I cannot stand militant vegans/vegetarians. I want to punch each and every one of them with a train. And then eat a plate of bacon wrapped veal.

In lighter news, your snarks always cheer me up! So many cute kitties! I just want to roll them up and put them in my mouth.
