^ This is the one. I like this one pretty well too. I feel for Karen and understand how and why she's jealous of Emily (though I know it's not Emily's fault - it's only natural for Karen to resent her and be jealous, I think) and think she's really sweet to her in the end. My favorite part is when Watson picked Karen up at the end and she kissed him "right on top of the head where he's going bald" ;D This reminds me of how I used to rub my dad's head when I was really little (on his bald spot ;D) and say "I'll shine your head for a quarter" ;D

^ Aww, that's cute about your dad And yeah, I resented my sister when she was born first, too. I was 6 years old and was used to being the only child - all of a sudden, I had to compete for attention, and I didn't like it.

^ I can understand that. I'm an only child and am glad for it every day. Some kids do well with siblings but I'm not one of them. ;D

I thought it was sweet Karen named her Emily Junior... is it just me, or do the Brewers have issues with naming pets originally?
Anyway, Poor Emily.

Well, I got the impression that BooBoo was around before Lisa. And Boo-Boo makes me think of Boo Boo from the Glass family.

^ I think Watson tells about Boo Boo's name in Black Cat or Movie Star. If I remember right, it's something with him "making a Boo Boo" in getting him. And he was around before Lisa. ;D

Haha, i thought maybe he was named after old Ben Brewer, who was a ghost... Get it? BooBoo? That would stick with naming pets after family.

I thought in Kristy's Great Idea they explained that Boo-boo was always getting into stuff and was sort of a boo-boo himself.

^ I thought that Mary Anne said Boo-Boo just looked like a Boo Boo, fat and cranky or whatever. He didn't seem to be the kind of cat that got into stuff. But I still get this hilarious mental picture of Watson sitting alone in his mansion after his divorce with his cat. It's so sad and yet hilarious.
