I just love "discussing" BSC minutiae.<br /><br />The Winter Wonderland Dance was actually originally called the Snowflake Dance (in book 3), though WWD is used most often.<br /><br />"Does Stacey really need to go all the way to the mall to get a perm? There must be a salon somewhere in Stoneybrook."<br />There is Glorianna's House of Hair, which Stacey does not want to go to. She mentions that if her mom doesn't drive her to Washington Mall on Wednesday, she'll have to settle for going to Glorianna's on Thursday. (You've mentioned reading some of LS books and one of them - I don't know which one - details the horrible haircut Karen received from Glorianna.)<br /><br />"How early do they get out of school that Kristy had time to do her homework and watch two movies before dinner?"<br />I'm not sure about at this point in the series but in Kristy's Great Idea, they get out of school at 2:42. And as for MA and the Pikes, MA and Mal got out of school in time enough to walk to SES and pick up Claire and the other Pike kids and then walk back to the Pike house. That could easily take up 20 minutes.<br /><br />Cup O' Ramen is Cup o' Noodles soup - dehydrated/dried noodles and vegetables and/or meat that you add boiling water to to make soup. Pictured here: https://www.google.ca/search?q=Cup+OF'+Ramen&rlz=1C1BLWB_enCA555CA555&espv=210&es_sm=122&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=MPbOUvOkKtGrrgHonIDQDQ&ved=0CDwQsAQ&biw=1600&bih=774. And I also wonder when the dancers were supposed to have eaten the soup/other food. Obviously it came in handy after they were forced to stay over at the dance school but before that, staying after rehearsal wasn't the plan.<br /><br />I don't know why the mixed up Popsicle with Fudgesicle here. I'd always assumed that maybe they couldn't get the rights to use the Fudgesicle name but that's weird that they'd be able to use Popsicle but not Fudgesicle. And, even more confusingly, one of the later books (SS10) mentions Jordan eating a Fudgesicle.<br /><br />Dawn seems pretty virgin-eared, having only heard the word Sharon said (which I've always assumed to the F word) "in movies that Mom doesn't know I've seen." Especially considering Thomas-Brewer children (and Bart) have just watched Uncle Buck and Back to the Future, both of which contain several swear words.<br /><br />I have no idea why you'd even use a double boiler for re-heating spaghetti.<br /><br />I'm not sure how old LP is but she was born in #14, Hello, Mallory.<br /><br />I think the Jessi illustration still fits: Holly was holding her hand, got on the phone with her parents and continued holding Jessi's hand. Unless the text belies this somehow. It's been a while since I read this book.<br /><br />Why does the heat still work at the Pikes, after the electricity goes out?<br />Maybe they have gas heating.<br /><br />"I think Mallory means on."<br />Mallory means that there was one light on after the electricity came back on but it should have been off, considering that everyone went around turning everything electrical that they'd had on before the outage off, but they missed the light.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
