Mallory and the Trouble with Twins! Part The End!

[road_baby]

I was so restless the other day and today was no better. I kept feeling like I should be being productive but nothing seemed enjoyable. I wanted to sew but just ended up spooling all my embroidery thread. I wanted to draw but did nothing. Finally I realised what I really wanted to do. I wanted to snark. So, here we are. And man, I gotta do

Anyways, the girls show Mal the stuff they got from their relatives, which of course, are all identical presents. Because even their family doesn't know shit about them.--Again, I feel so sympathetic to the girls

Another positive for Mallory is she chose things the girls were interested in versus giving them things that Mallory likes.

Mal has her dumb moments (#1 Fan...), but, overall, she's not a bad character. Funny how the characters bad authors want us to not like we usually like the best, and we usually hate the ones we're meant to like.

Suddenly, Dawn breaks down and says she wants her ears pierced too!--*rolls eyes*

Kristy's the individual here. She's the one who'll never want piercings, unless they're naval or eyebrow.

I'm guessing that Linda did all the back to school shopping herself. The twins called the clothes they had 'icky' so, I think that she must have just picked out what she liked with no input from them whatsoever.

When I was little, I got sick of my calf length hair and asked my mom for a haircut. Even though I knew she loved my long hair, I knew I could go to her with this request. She wasn't happy about it, but she let me. And I was younger than Mal at the time. So, really it just goes to show that the Pikes don't have as good as a relationship with their kids as they think. If you're kid can't go to you for a haircut at age 11, then you're doing it wrong. Also, Mal is a total pair of baby pants for just moping around like an idiot.

It’s a good thing Dawn isn’t there, otherwise she’d make them order the nastiest health food pizza imaginable.

I'd say there's a better chance that Michelle Duggar knowing a damned thing about her kids.

Mal says she said it because they are cute. The twins are like, 'Oh! We didn't understand!' Uh, understand what? Exactly what was cleared up in Mal saying they are cute? 'You're cute!' 'How dare you!' 'You're actually cute!' 'Well, okay then!'

They're cure as individuals, not because they're twins.

I just hate that she calls it a 'line' when it's how she's feeling.

It's a line because it was spoken. It's not an emotion.

She also says picking out the same things is 'easy' and how fucking lazy can you get?

On what planet? It's not always easy finding two of the same thing in the same size. Linda's lying. She just likes treating her kids like toys. And...there she goes, admitting it.

Mal asks if she can take them on a shopping spree for new clothes and uh, Mal? You did your job. Kinda time to butt out. I can give

You know, if you don't know shit about kids, maybe don't write books for children.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!

Who makes a sweater as expensive as that for little kids?!

Oh dear. Someone doesn't have kids yet. One of my daughter's favorite catalogs has stuff far more expensive than that for kids. That's why I don't buy anything from it.

Mal says she's never seen them in pants before. Even though they were wearing jumpsuits in an earlier chapter.

Jumpsuits are usually baggy. Pants aren't as baggy.

They head to the ear piercing boutique and Jessi starts to get scared. Mal says it's no big deal, she's watched hundreds of people get their ears pierced and knows every move. She also says they 'freeze' your ears and uh...what?!

There's a spray that's more or less a placebo.

The clerk is like 'Okay, dealy-oh' and asks for no parental permission.

Also, even in the 80's and 90's, you had to have a legal guardian sign the consent form. When I got my second set of holes, I was 16, and my mother had to sign.

I think so too. Her heart was in the right place.

Also, did you make a LOTR reference? I think you're my new BFF.

[anabellabobella]

Why yes, I did. :D We make lots of them in this household. One of my dogs is named after Elrond's great-grandmother. :D

I promise to get it checked out so that I can continue to entertain y'all. Well, let's go

That does not fucking happen, Ann! Besides the fact that the store wants to charge you for an earring, it needs to fit in the fucking piercing gun! See my above comment about Ann's lady boner. I think Ann caused the entire consumption of cocaine in the 80s. Someone was never visited by D.A.R.E

I loved Rainbow Brite soooo much! I had her and Starlight and some others but I don't remember who. I think I had Shy Violet because my fave colour was purple. I think I had Tickled Pink too. I was lucky enough to find a new condition Patty o'Green at the Goodwill and a red sprite!

I always hear that where you get your tattoo depends on how much it would hurt. That's why I'm getting my first on my upper arm and another on my thigh. I hear the more meaty a place is, the less it hurts. That's why I'm holding off on a ankle tattoo and some wrist ones.

-Nice! I loved Rainbow Brite; I remember when she had her own cereal!

-True, it also depends on your pain tolerance. There's some people that can't take it, no matter how small. Mine hurt, but no too bad. The last one on my ankle hurt and took the longest to heal. Good luck getting yours!
