Karen's Pizza Party. I found some little things to be funny. Karen turned into a diva during her first photo shoot. Watson had brought her there, with Hannie and Nancy along to watch. Everyone got annoyed with her. Emily referred to Karen as "Big Karen" because she kept seeing Karen's big head on the billboard going out of town.
Miss Colman took the class outside to read a book to them. The kids got bored and started doing other things. Ricky was rubbing two sticks together attempting to start a fire, lol.

Karen's Tuba. Ms. Colman and Mr. Henry Simmons (Karen introduced his name in italics like he was a famous guy that we should be impressed with) were over for dinner at the Little House. Ms. Colman said she wanted a wedding gown with lace and seed pearls on the front. I didn't know what seed pearls were, either, Andrew. They're just little pearls.
Sam was holding band practice for Karen's class. Lol. You're old, dude. The first time someone called me "Ma'am" I was so upset.

Karen's Magician. Andrew was a little obsessed about his un-returned magic trick penny. Watson was trying to contact the magician to get it back. Watson and I both laughed at that.
Same book. Karen won the Fun Night Committe election for the second grade. She enjoyed it. This was only funny to me because of the dumpster fire conditions that the country is currently in. I don't think Biden's having a great time right now, Karen.

Karen's Little Sister. Seth, bird nurse extraordinaire, said that they needed to keep Magic Tastee warm. I admit I was like Andrew when I started reading that. I was like WTF is Seth doing. Lol. He stuck the nest that they made into the oven to warm it up.

Karen's Treasure. Nancy suddenly became a ballerina who had classes all the time. Karen was all stone faced and butthurt that she wasn't getting attention, so she didn't laugh. I did.
Seth and Lisa were debating if a kid or an adult signed the treasure map that Karen and Andrew found. Lol, Karen should watch The Goonies.

Karen's Carnival. (This was talked about a lot in that thread.) Lisa and Karen were talking about meeting a famous author. Andrew overheard and asked what an arthur was. Karen: "An author is a person who writes books. An Arthur is just a guy."
Hannie was mad at Karen and made up a lovely song about her. "Oh, how I want skates, before it's too late. Oh, how I want skates....It's Karen I hate." Karen told her to shut up and then tried to cover Hannie's mouth with her hand. (RUDE!) Hannie "punched" Karen's hand away, so Karen pulled Hannie's pigtail. They ended up rolling around on the ground while other kids chanted "Fight! Fight!" Karen got a hole in ripped in her shirt. Somehow all this happened, and it sounded like Ms. Colman didn't even tell the parents.

Karen and Pamela got into a brawl in another book. I now picture college aged Karen fighting a sorority sister. Karen made it seem like Hannie attacked her, but she started it. Don't try to put your dirty hand over someone's mouth.

You ever see those social media questions that are like "tell me such and such without telling me such and such?" Like "tell me your favorite movie without telling me your favorite movie?" Then you have to describe the movie without saying the title. "A little brown dude phoned home" or whatever it may be.
Ok, Karen's Dinosaur. Karen, tell me what year this book was written in without telling me what year this book was written in. Karen at Central Park: That may be the most dated sentence ever written in one of these books. It made me laugh. I can visualize this man so well.

Karen's Gift. Karen had to decorate her little papier mâché hand for art class. She was supposed to draw pictures of things that she liked or represented her. She was preoccupied by her money thoughts/mother's day gifts/job earnings and didn't know what to draw. Later Nannie took the kids shopping to pick out Mother's Day gifts for Elizabeth and Lisa. This is what we need illustrations for! Not Karen gazing lovingly at the day planners that she picked out! I'm hoping the cross-eyed bears are a reference to You Oughta Know by Alanis Morrissette XD Yes, I know she sings "Cross I bear" but I thought it was cross-eyed bear for the longest time.

Karen's Unicorn. Karen was super enamored by the thought of unicorns. The unicorn at the circus was finally brought out to the crowd for a question-and-answer period. The kids could ask yes or no questions, and the unicorn would nod or shake his head.
Karen was out there acting like a grandma at a Chippendales show over this unicorn.

Karen's Mystery. Karen had to pack up Emily Jr.'s cage to get it to her dad's, and it needed to be straightened out. David Michael wasn't having it.
