When I first read Aloha, Baby Sitters, I thought that Logan and Mary Anne would make it to second base with them thousands of miles away from their parents and they are alone in paradise.
Imagine my disappointment when they were all on a break, in all but name, throughout their Hawaiian vacation. As Karen Brewer would say,"Boo and Bullfrogs."

Still, if Mrs McGill was working, Stacey would know what time to expect her home. And if she arrived home unexpectedly, she could just as easily have "surprised" Stacey and Robert in the bedroom. In fact, they'd be less likely to hear Mrs McGill arrive home if they were locked away in the bedroom and therefore wouldn't be able to make themselves "decent" before she came inside ;D Giving your teenage kids the privilege of allowing opposite sex visitors to enter the house at ALL unsupervised needs to be done with the knowledge that "indecent" activities might occur if the couple is that way inclined. A half-assed "stick to the kitchen/living room" rule isn't likely to achieve much. Knowing the BSC, however, Stacey would've had enough respect for her mum to not "get up to no good" in the family home. Well, Maureen McGill knew her daughter was responsible and was NOT, NOT despite what some stereotypers believe, about to jump into the sack with Robert or ANY guy. Let's not forget that Stoneybrook is a progressive area, not a backwards, repressive one. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the BSC knew about birth control and how to avoid an unwanted pregancy.

I was shocked when I read that! In a BSC book! The examples I can think of are all extremely mild, but remember - this IS the BSC! Why would you be 'shocked'? They were graduating from EIGHTH grade...not kindergarten...in a PROGRESSIVE, LIBERAL New England town less than an hour away from New York City...not in a tiny, backwards-thinking little town in the south. So, of course the wise BSC girls knew a few parents who had never married. I certainly was never 'shocked' at the mention of non-marital birth. Wake up, it's not the repressive 1950s anymore where birth and sexual matters were kept like some 'dirty' dark 'secret' from those under eighteen.

The scene in Boy-Crazy Stacey where Stacey and Mary Anne go on a double date with Toby and Alex to Hercules' Hot Dogs was pretty dirty. All the talk of "foot longs" and Mary Anne watching intensely as the boys eat multiple foot longs. Then Stacey says "the ends of the foot longs disappeared into their mouths."

From Mary Anne and the Great Romance:
There was also the mentions of Richard and Sharon having a one-night honeymoon at the Strathmore Inn. I wonder what they were getting up to ...
And this. I'm pretty sure the triplets will have seen plenty of naked people by the time they're twenty.

Sorry for the double post, but the mention of sleeping with Tigger reminded me of this from Mary Anne and the Search for Tigger:

Okay, forgive me, but I remembered another one that I don't think has been mentioned, from Jessi Ramsey, Pet Sitter:

I don't usually post in this particular thread. I don't think the Little Sister books are talked about much.
Karen's Mystery: Karen, no.
