XD oh man, I'm reading #5 Karen's School Picture and I laughed so hard when she says this: her eye doctor asks her "do you know the letters in the alphabet?" and Karen says "Of course I do! Mommy told you I can read! What a silly question." it so funnny

here's another favorite moment, when she covers herself in makeup in order to feel beautiful. Poor Karen. I think its hysterical she paints over her salon quality nail polish with cheap sparkle stuff. XD Man, if that was me doing that, my parents would have wrung my neck and been cross with me for covering up 'an expensive manicure"

^Mine too. Seriously, I wonder why Lisa and Seth didn't even question any of that. If I suddenly decided to wear gobs of makeup to school (in SECOND grade), I can bet my mom would have put a stop to it.

My school would have put a stop to it. I went to a private school and we weren't allowed makeup until 7th grade, and then was expected to be kept to a "minimum" to "assist with the girl's self esteem when dealing with acne" (ie. we were allowed concealer only)

Yeah, my school too. I remember my fifth grade teacher told this girl in the class to go to the principal when she came to school with a bunch of eyeshadow and lipstick on.

i guess Lisa and Seth wanted to let her feel better about herself with the make up instead of taking it away from her. i can understand that they probably felt bad for her with an ugly haircut and she needed a pick me up. But i'd think the school would say something ,or Ms Colman at the least anyway.

Didn't she put it on in school, though, so that Lisa and Seth didn't know? I thought I remembered an illustration of her putting it on in the school washroom before class started. It's been a long time since I read that book, though, so I could be wrong.

Wow..just wow....I got done with 54 Karen's Candy, and i was happy she punched Pamela Harding and then thought to herself when Natalie cried out "fightings not a way to solve a problem" Karen thought "Dumb ol Natalie with her lisp and her falling down socks" yeah I shouldn't quite side with Karen being vicious like that, but come on, read straight on from 1-54 of Karen books and you try saying that you don't think that Karen;s outburst was alright. Karen's put up with A LOT of crap in all those books and to finally just sock it to Pamela.....yeah. and it got better when Karen tells Pamela "lets sneak in the parade!" that was awesome too.
