I just somehow can't picture Charlie and Janine as a couple which is why this is such an intriguing theory. Well, actually, neither can I Heh. It's the only thing that I can think of that can reasonably explain how Charlie managed to spend half an hour, three days a week, for ten years in a spot that is presumably not the most convenient for him. I mean, sure, there might be errands, or visiting friends, or watching cheerleaders , but *three times a week* for that many years?

Maybe the only the Charlie can offer Janine is driving lessons?

To be fair though, it WAS only really one year - he started driving Kristy over the seventh/eighth grade summer - although one could be forgiven for thinking he did it for MANY years, considering all the Christmases, Summers, Halloween Hops etc.

True... But he also seemed available to drive the BSC around at the drop of a hate, like in the Mystery at the Mall, and the baby parade, and the Halloween Mystery, and even Jessi and the Dance School Phantom...

Maybe he is in training to be a chauffeur - he can put shuttling the BSC on his resume as job related experience. ;D

Charlie was a dork, he had nothing better to do. That pretty much sums it up for me. I'm not a huge Charlie/Sam fan.

I haven't read this one for a while but remembered enjoying reading about MA and the babies. I always like the groups with kids ages about 2-5 too. That is a pretty fun age (when you are reading about it instead of really dealing with it

I dunno. I liked the one about where they lugged the kids along on a wagon. That would have been so cute to see if I was walking past them.

Yeah, I liked Mary Anne taking care of all those babies. That's definitely the group I would have wanted.

Hmmmm.....I've read this book I don't know how many times, but I don't remember the Sheila and Kendall thing. Maybe they fixed that mistake in the newer printings. I have one with the old cover style, though, and I've had it for ages. I'm pretty sure the names are correct in there, too!

I think I would have picked the oldest group. I definitely wouldn't have picked the babies. I hate babies. Whenever I tell people this, they seem to think I'm a bad person. I don't harm babies or anything, I just don't see what there is to like about little creatures that don't do anything except cry and produce smelly substances from every orifice.

^ ha, each to their own, I guess. I think babies are adorable and those early smiles are nothing short of miraculous. But the substances they produce DO leave a lot to be desired, that's for sure ;D

I was going through my BSC books last night, pulling out the copies I'm keeping and the ones I'm selling on Ebay, and I decided to check my #6's to see if "Sheila and Kendall" were in there. In both copies I have with the old cover, they are. It was corrected when they brought out the new covers, though. This might be the only inconsistency that was!
