Impossible!

name your first child cindy and name other sue ann lol hope they be both girls lol

But Sue Ann was older; shouldn't she be the first child?

You buy a bong for your dorm room and literally have no idea what it's for before Mrs. G. freaks out!

But Sue Ann was older; shouldn't she be the first child?

oh yes of course,

You buy a bong for your dorm room and literally have no idea what it's for before Mrs. G. freaks out!

Bong! Bong! Bong! :lol:

Bong! Bong! Bong! :lol:

I know! Natalie and Tootie sure showed their naivety. And I'd have liked to have seen Natalie attempt to drink root beer out of her bong as per her intention.

But, yeah, I admit that there were some things I WAS naive about when I was their age that amused my peers so, yeah I could relate when they actually bought them having zero idea what they were used for

Of course, how it was that Mrs. G and Mr. Bradley had NEVER previously smelled anything funky from the other girls' dorm room (or clothes) or seen THEIR bong within is a bit of a mystery. I have to admit that I had mixed feelings about Blair calling the scene RIGHT because I agreed with her (and it was nice to see her actually trying to look out for Sue-Ann's interests there) but I didn't like her to BE right.

Yeah, I would have never heard or seen of a "bong" at age 12 or 13 either--well, except for this episode, I mean.

Oh, that one's easy: Because Tumpy and Emily lived in a different dorm. :)

Yeah, so many things went over my head, too, when I was a kid. "[Too young] to burn jellybeans?" sounds like something I would have said. :lol:

Mrs. Garrett wouldn't have been in charge of another dorm. The housemother over in Tumpy and Emily's dorm was apparently quite elderly, and those girls were very sneaky. Mr. Bradley was shown being taken in by those girls, who were flattering him. A good administrator would suspect something was going on, but then, we know Mr. Bradley was not a good administrator, and was a bit lost in his job.

Hence, it wasn't too long thereafter he DID lose his job! Oh,well, at least Mr. Bradley got his wish of never having to expel any other student from Eastland.

While I have to admit that I felt relieved that the students were in the more capable hands of Mr. Parker the next year, not only was he not the slightest bit of comic relief (or more than a foil) but he wound up being rather mean to Mrs. G.

Oh, well, I guess I can say that I know I watched too much FOL when my previous boss suddenly disappeared, got replaced and NO ONE ever said what had actually happened (though I can testify that there's usually workplace gossip swirling - even if they throw a big farewell party).

That's kind of a tough way to get your wish! :lol:

Mr. Parker was definitely more capable... and as you say, by the end, he really had become a jerk. What was it with Eastland headmasters being jerks, anyway? If they weren't pitting girls against one another, implying that a staff member had a drinking problem, changing menus at the last moment, or ripping off Shakespeare, they would disappear without notice! :lol:

Creepy! It's bad enough when that happens on TV!

Well, we don't know if he lost it, or if he left on his own.

Only, they weren't. The headmaster who succeeded Mr. Bradley was Mr. Harris for season 2.

Well, we don't know if he lost it, or if he left on his own.


True. He could have decided to go back to headmastering at a boys' school.


Only, they weren't. The headmaster who succeeded Mr. Bradley was Mr. Harris for season 2.

Yeah, can't forget about Mr. "Tupe" Harris. :lol:

Yeah, can't forget about Mr. "Tupe" Harris. :lol:

No kiddin', a toup'! :lol:

Well, losing track of which boss was boss when isn't all that different from real life sometimes.

Very true! :lol:
