74. Turtlenecks under a sweater are the perfect tomboy's uniform. 75. All kids who ride horses English style are rich and snobby. 76. It's perfectly feasible for a two and a half year old to play on a softball team, speak in full, complex sentences, and memorize Elvis songs word for word. 77. A family in chaos only needs a BSC member to swoop in like Mary Poppins to make everything perfect again.

78. If you don't get a call-back for a play audition, it means you automatically got the part! Oh no, wait, it doesn't...
79. Every kid must love The Wizard of Oz and I Love Lucy. It's a rule.
80. Either you're a tomboy and you hate dressing up, or you love dressing up and you hate sports.
81. Got left back in the 7th grade? Don't worry! You'll be back in the 8th grade in a matter of weeks.

82. If you are a 13-year-old boy, you can get a job waiting tables at the Rosebud Cafe.
83. Without contacts, a nose job, and sparkly shirts....you're Mallory.
84. The phrase "continue on" is redundant.
85. Millionaires wear sweatsuits.
86. If you're blonde and wear ultra-chilly clothes, you might fall in love with a lifeguard...and a ski instructor...and a mother's helper...and your math teacher...and the new guy... and....

90. If a mom is "drop-dead gorgeous" and "stunning" and "looks like she stepped off the cover of a fashion magazine," it's totally ok if she has a messy house or forgets to tell the babysitter it's the kids' day with their estranged dad.
91. The BSC will always beat Cokie Mason at everything. Hands down, no questions asked.
92. If a family calls up requesting a specific sitter and it isn't you...you either did something wrong, or they just hate you.
93. Don't bother calling high-schoolers up to babysit - they'll just smoke cigarettes and invite their boyfriends over for make-out sessions.
94. In that same vein, if a family calls up a non-BSC sitter to babysit, the BSC did something wrong. A family calling up a non-BSC sitter is the worst thing that could happen to the BSC too.

97. The kids you baby-sit for will ALWAYS prefer to put on fairs and shows and carnivals rather than sit around watching TV.

99. If your older sister is a genius, she's also automatically a mean old witch.
100. Everyone from CA is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed hippie who eats granola and turns up their nose at unhealthy things like candy, fried chicken, and white rice.
101. The BSC does have some "difficult" clients who can be high maintenance and bratty...unless it's one of the BSC's younger siblings, then they're fun and cute and have wild imaginations!
102. NYC may only been about an hour away, but it's still a magical, far-away place in everyone's mind!

103. If the kids you're sitting for have an aunt who rides a motorcycle, she might offer you a beer.
104. Any burglar can be thwarted by calling a friend and asking if they've seen your red ribbon.
105. A good parent will drop everything to attend whatever talent show/ band performance/ play the neighborhood kids are currently putting on in somebody's backyard.
106. Practical jokes are bad and can be dangerous to your health.
107. If you are a BSC member and go on an out of town trip, you can be sure some kind of disaster will strike. Hurricanes, shipwrecks, car accidents, getting lost in the woods, helicopter crashes, running out of gas on a deserted road, blizzards, elementary school buses overturning.
108. If your parents have more pictures of your siblings than of you, you must be adopted.
109. Oysters were on the menu at the first Thanksgiving.
110. Middle schools routinely let the kids teach classes.
111. If you are ever stranded on a deserted island, eat all your food supplies right away or they might go bad.
112. The cat did it.
113. If your older sister starts behaving weirdly, she must be a spy.
114. All writers base their stories on their real lives.

115. When you are around a person and an animal with the same name, you will always have to specify who is doing what action, otherwise people might become confused (as in Shannon, the person, took a sip of lemonade. Shannon, the dog, wagged her tail).

^ LOL! I know ... geez. I think we can get it from context! Hehe, anyway:
116. In the same vein as #111, whenever the electricity goes out you must do the same thing!
117. Eleven year olds are mature enough to be left alone with an eight year old and toddler for a weekend.
118. People trust eleven and thirteen year olds to take their children anywhere (out on boat, for example).
119. Mary Poppins is what the sophisticated teen likes to watch.

122. Anyone who competes in a beauty pageant that isn't a BSC client is a pageant-head robot, being forced to compete by their psycho parents.
123. Only Kristy Thomas can have Great Ideas.
124. It's perfectly normal to pretend to be a ghost to scare your stepsister into having her own bedroom.
