Someone put in a specific request for this and I noticed it had never been snarked before, so here it is! Also, I don't know how to create a tag for it :/ ( Read more... )
thinking about it, I recall my school pen pal experience ended in a passive-aggressive fight because she liked Barney and I thought the Power Rangers were way cooler. We were in fifth grade and Barney was like a stupider Sesame Street, so I didn't get it. On reflection, Power Rangers wasn't actually smart, but still less toddler-oriented. So I guess I can sympathize with a kid getting into a really weird letter-based fight with their pen pal while phrasing things in a way the teacher won't make you rewrite.
And oh man, rabbits are a stupid gift. It is something live you need to care for and sure it's cute but it ends badly for the bunnies all the time.
The book where Emily Michelle had to get tubes in her ears really made me try and figure out why Karen is so terrible. You have to wonder if she would be so obsessed with winning and being on top if her parents had stayed together and it was only her and Andrew. With her father getting remarried, she's not the big sister anymore because Kristy has that. She's wasn't even the baby in the family before E.M, that went to Andrew but she was the youngest girl so at least she had something
( ... )
Also the book where, for her birthday, what she wants most is to have dinner with her entire family -- both parents, both stepparents, all siblings and stepsiblings. This is treated as the most unreasonable thing she's ever requested of her family.
But Karen kind of gets this superior attitude which is really annoying.--Par for the course. Karen could find a penny on the side of the road and get a superior attitude about it. "I found a penny and you didn't! Wow, I bet this penny could bring me luck! I bet my lucky penny is better than your lucky penny! I bet you don't even have a lucky penny!" Yeah, I feel like grabbing my own hair and slamming myself against the wall for doing my Karen impersonation
( ... )
I squeed with joy to see you started this snark! Just from the title I could tell shit was gonna go down. I can't imagine anything worse than giving Karen a bunny.
I always loved Andrew too and it fed my hatred of Karen because she bullied him so much. You're right that Karen is just a brat because Andrew's a good kid and they're raised by the same people. But Karen's attitude probably comes from everyone treating her like a princess who gets chuckles and head pats for terrorizing other kids.
Whose very mature response is that he doesn't care about being the best and everyone will do a good job. I love Andrew so much.
He definitely got the better end of the deal with Lisa and Seth moved, took him with them, and dumped Karen on Watson.
Karen feels something soft and furry at the bottom of the basket and realizes she has been given a REAL-LIVE BUNNY, YO. Giving animals as surprise gifts is fucking AWFUL. Every year, tons of dogs are abandoned after Christmas and tons of bunnies and chicks are ditched after Easter

Make sure you've got a big pen for the bunny! Cages are not meant for them to live in, just a secluded area for the litter box and bed. They need space to run around and jump and things to chew and play. Bunnyproof any area you plan to let it run around in 'cause again, they chew.
Also, you should probably just get one unless they're fixed. Bunnies tend to either, uh, go at it like bunnies or fight, otherwise.
Apologies if you know all this already(I am assuming you are giving this infinity times more thought than Karen's grandmother either way), just that I've come across too many people who are like "Of course that decorative tank is too small for a fish!" and then turn around and get a tank that's still half the size the fish actually needs.

At least until I was an adult. I still have trouble reading her books.

Poor bunny. Already.
