   Ah this would have been perfect for the Pirate couple and their daughter. I haven’t seen this one yet and can’t wait for the ful recap. As always Dear Crabby you have peaked my curiousity badly. LOL

   you would think that Beth would have picked the trash and fast food wrappers off the floor before the camera crew came in.

   I actually felt heartsick watching Beth. I can’t believe someone on this earth is that completely clueless! And not in a stupid way, just clueless. I can’t explain it…

   And that Broman (guessing that’s the pronunciation), she looked very, very familiar. Does she have a pageant mom twin that we have seen before? When I saw Monroe I was sure hoping that one of the Duck Dynasty guys had a pageant kid, that would have made for a truly hilarious episode!

   Also, was it me or did Tonya seem a bid medicated to anyone else? She seemed to be speaking a lot s l o w e r than she usually does.

   Frizzypop- I felt the same way watching Beth…..the situation was just sad. Her house was full of trash and she seemed very out of touch with reality. It was painful to watch her daughter on stage…I don’t understand forcing a child to participate in an activity while not providing the tools they need to be successful. (hair, makeup, clothes, proper training).

   I loved how they mentioned Daisy’s favorite show was Hoarders…I thought it appropriate given the state of Beth’s house…you can totally see it going there!

   @Frizzypop – I know what you mean, we had another mom a few episodes ago that was the same way. It’s like they know they aren’t “with the program” like the rest of us, but can’t figure out how to join. When I explained it about the other mom, I just felt like there is a cognitive function that forms when we are kids – people either get it or they don’t, and those that don’t get it by the time they are like 5 are sort of left behind. It is really sad, because you can tell she really is a loving mother trying her best.

   On the other hand, put that pageant money into a 529 college savings plan.

    I would pay anything if Crabby came down to Texas and saw Tonya’s pageants up close and personal and then recapped it. Would love to see if the mother’s cry wolf of TLC’s editing is true, or what the contestants and mothers are really like!

    Can Flipit send you there on assignment?

    @ Tonya, I love that you come on here to comment! You seem like a gal I could really hang out with. Loved the pirate theme, and hope to see another pageant with this theme in the future!

    Poor Elesha’s mom. Just all the way round. I think the judges were simultaneously horrified, amused, and pitying them. Oy.

    I would give someone my beautiful buffalo nickel to clean that poor woman’s house. So necessary. So sad.

    FizzyPop; yes! Beth seemed clueless but not in a stupid way aaaaallllllthough going through the animal park with windows open went beyond clueless. I wonder if she’s beaten down or overwhelmed by responsibility and a bad divorce? Maybe she’s on pain pills for something and that exacerbates the cluelessness? She seemed a doting and loving mother and her kids clearly love her back so I was sad for Elesha. I felt sad all around for this nice family; how nice was that brother?

    payteen or whatever; OMG, what a hopeless brat with a twit of a martyr mother. SHE’s the dumbass mother here IMO not Beth. And I don’t buy that she’s spent $100,000 either; her lackadaisicalness extends from child rearing to book keeping. And Bronwman or whatever her mother named her; what do you expect? WTF, meet Double Digit. I kept thinking Payteen’s smile looked like Mr Bean’s when he thinks no one is looking.

    I liked Daisy too; like Alyssa of last week she wasn’t insufferable; just well prepared, pretty enough and lucky enough to have a family who can spend to support her pageant hobby. Thought her dress was gorgeous; her routine rather cheesy but certainly poised, complex and confident. Compare that to Haley’s a few weeks ago; they’re the same age I think.

    Yay for Tonya! I am way up in the cold white north but otherwise would be so happy if I could see one of your pageants! But, Tonya, is it true that only participants’ families and friends can view pageants being filmed? I loved your eyepatch and the crowns were wonderful.

    @Sam, I think you nailed Beth’s beaten down, hopeless cluelessness. I almost cried when she sat between the other featured moms. She looked so lost.

    Also, was she not aware that there were cameras everywhere? Yikes.

    @T & T Lover, I would Love for her to come!!! @Coffylover My next is Disco Fever, I did so enjoy the pirate. My sister and I design each crown to the theme! @Frizzypop I really didn’t medicate, I was trying to not talk so fast. @ Sam ANYONE can come in to watch the show, They just have to sign an waiver for the production company. In saying that, I do keep an eye out in the audience, Mostly it is grandparents, parents other children ect. I am a big fan of this site in general, I read many other recaps! But my heart belongs to Crabby She ROCKS!!!

    I liked Daisy’s dress but the back of it was hideous…what was with those three dimensional things that looked like tentacles?

    I hated that one judge when she was speaking so cruelly about Elisha. Yes, I know it was deserved but she seemed to be gloating. I pray poor Elisha didn’t watch the show last night, poor child.

    @DearCrabby — Hoarders was Daisy’s favorite show, but it she wasn’t Beth’s daughter, Elesha was. Daisy’s home seemed to be quite lovely (I’m into decorating so always notice the decor).

    Poor Beth — what was up with her injuries? Splints on a wrist and a leg? I wonder if she was in an accident or if someone smacks her around. She was so freaking clueless it was hard to watch. During line-up she observed that all the other girls looked alike (hair, dress, teeth) and her daughter looked different like that was in her daughter’s favor. Note to Beth: the point is for them to all look very much alike and stand out by virtue of training and personality. Still she seemed like a loving mom…unlike…

    That crazy woman with the ridiculous name who forces her toddler to do pageants (and gave her an equally ridiculous name, not having learned what a pain it is for a child to have a weird spelling). When she interviewed that “she” had worked so hard for this pageant that it wasn’t fair her daughter was not cooperating I about choked on my cheez doodles. THEN YOU DO THE PAGEANT, MORON!

    Sorry to yell. Daisy, super cute, April, also cute. But let’s be honest: they’re not the types that make this show interesting. Also, my captcha: same same. Ha!

    Tonya, you looked beautiful in the episode.

    Beth? Could someone pleases take this woman on as a project? and introduce her to glitz? The Sword Dance of no practice was heart breaking tovwatch, poor Elesha

    And Paetynn? Like a snarky dream come true, born and bred and named special, just for us, a bratty kid with a non word name, practicing for her career as either a pole dancer, or a pageant coach, ala Nikki

    btw I took my kids to one of these drive through animal parks this past weekend. Our first one. They tell you to have the windows down so you can feed the animals out of these buckets of food you buy. So here we go driving through and we are attacked by llamas and cows and donkeys and emus who stick their whole heads into their windows and will just eat out of the bucket but won’t go easily away. I finally had to get them out then roll the windows up enough that they could not stick their whole heads in but we could still throw food out the windows to them. So in her defense at least, they might have told her to have the window down.

    Tonya, those crowns were FABULOUS, I am so jealous! Also, I love that you comment on here!

    Beth, Beth, Beth…she means so well but come on lady!! I get that she wanted Elesha to have confidence and get over her fears, but there are so many other ways to do that besides pageants! It’s one thing if you have the $$$ to spend on a proper glitz outfit, flipper, coach etc. but if you don’t, then a) put her in natural pageants (but please get a coach) or b) find another activity like dance, children’s theatre, a sport, gymnastics etc. that won’t break the bank and that Elesha enjoys. Letting a kid find a hobby that they love and can excel at can really boost their confidence, but pushing Elesha into pageants where she’ll lose because she’s not prepared is going to do the exact opposite.

    Elesha broke my heart after her pirate routine, when she said she wished her mom had helped her more. This family was sad like Bob and Riley from a few seasons ago.

    Great mini, Crabby! I haven’t read the comments yet, so I may be redundant. Forgive me and I’ll bring the Krispy Kremes to our next meeting in the Walmart parking lot. Anyone else notice that Beth’s mouth did not move when she smiled or laughed? Kinda creeped me out. Also, Big Mac was there rushing to get on camera as Peighdeigh arrived and was on the stage with Daisy’s division…..my how the mighty have fallen. Crying big, salty tears – not. Can’t wait for the full ‘cap!

    I, too, would like to know why the crowns are so big in diameter.

    Also, Tonya, you mentioned that Beth told you that you weren’t saying “Arrrgh” correctly. Were you able to enunciate the “arGGHHH” in your pirate-speak?

    Beth’s son was a very sweet boy.

    I felt just awful for Elesha and her brother. Seems like a sweet mom, but definitely overwhelmed. It looked as if she was always on the verge of breaking down. Just a pitiful little family. I felt for them.

    However….

    Favorite line of the whole show… when Zach was trying to save his sister from her appalling beauty performance: Elesha, twirl! ….Hey he tried.

    And was Beth choreographing from the floor? That movement of her arms up and down to the awkward Irish/Middle Ages song was priceless.

    I knew there was something else I forgot to mention. (I’m going to start needing a sticky pad when I watch!) I didn’t like Peyton’s pirate costume at all. If they hadn’t told us she was a parrot I would never have known. Since when does a parrot wear a little hat?

    After musing about how someone like Beth would ever be on T&T, a poster on another forum suggested that maybe they were scoped out for the show by the producers, who were looking for some serious snark factor. I certainly hope now…that would be the epitome of mean.

    Crabby, you’ve only done a mini recap and yet already I am laughing my fool head off. I simply must go clean Beth’s house, a clean freak like myself should never see a mess like that. How does one go on national television with your house like that unless it’s Daisy’s favorite show and my 2nd fav- HOARDERS

    Tonya, you look terrific Love love your pirate crowns; could you hold the Pageant again so I may enter and win one???

    Elesha is my favorite! What a sweet little girl! I about died when she was up on stage and walked off, then walked back on. He brother shouts \Twirl Elesha!\ Mom says \Shut up Zachary!\ OMG!!!! The condition of the house represented the condition of Beth’s brain! Scattered! At least Tonya wasn’t rude like last weeks director. I liked the way she said \Elesha swung that sword like a pro.\

    @Pat
    I said the same thing to my daughter. If I knew that the tv cameras were coming, you wouldn’t find a speck of dust anywhere. The house didn’t have to be a showroom, but walk around with a trash bag at least once.

    I couldn’t watch Elesha do beauty, it was uncomfortable. Made me feel so bad for the poor girl. The pirate wear was a bigger train wreck. Beth does look lost. I wonder at what point she realized she was way out of her league? What really made my jaw drop was when Beth said she broke the bank for this pageant….$650!!!! I was like, oh wow she’s doomed. But then I thought…no no no no…don’t waste the little $$$ you have on this crap. (Off Topic, I wonder if she is on some type of disability for her injuries? Just a thought)

    Daisy was another Alyssa. Prepared and behaved. The dress looked gorgeous on her.

    B-man and Peyton (however you spell their names) If she spent $100k in 3 year with her mother making the outfits she is either an idiot or a liar. I’m going for liar.

    Loved the crows Tonya, my favorite of all so far

    Hi Tonya! You looked great, and I LOVE the pirate theme!!

    Beth was just… sad. I almost feel bad snarking about her, because it really was just hard to watch. She reminded me of the family that watched drag shows for practice – she had the same kind of look. But oh my, she was out of her element in a big way! Did anyone else notice Elesha was wearing big hoop earrings during beauty? I felt so bad for her at the end when she said her mom should have helped her more.

    Daisy was great – she’s a pro, and you can tell that she really loves it.

    Ok, the crowns are huge! I have always designed my crowns with my sister and the kids do like them big! In my opinion the bigger the better ! The crowns are adjustable and can be made smaller in the diameter. My next crowns are disco theme and amazing, I wish I could post a picture.

    Clair, I wasn’t the best at pirate talk. I read online Drinking rum helps , I should have tried it!

    Pat Ledoux, Thanks for the kind words, I would love to do a Dear Crabby reader pageant!

    It was painful to watch Elisha, but I did enjoy watching the two women sitting behind Beth when E was on stage. I wish her mom would invest that pageant money on dance and tumbling, for both kids, then put her in a natural pageant when she is poised and ready.

    I also noticed that paetynn’s beauty dress had an “off” fit on her. The cut wasn’t quite right and it wrinkled up a bit. I’ve never worked with that fabric, but my guess is that her grandma was leaning on the stretch to make up for any imperfections in the cut. It just didn’t work so well.

    I watched this Episode online, and I’ll admit, I skipped over most of Paetyn. The screaming and crying got old, fast. I did watch her routines though, and they were decent. Light blue was lovely on her, but I think she skirt could’ve been a little longer.

    I love Daisy; she’s a cute, well behaved kid that loves what she does, and it’s clear that her mum loves and supports her. I did not like her beauty though. The routine was too… boppy for my liking. I miss the smooth, elegant walks of the 90s and early 200os. The winking and sashaying just isn’t pretty. Also, her hair.. that didn’t look like glitz hair to me.

    Elesha… not sure what to say about this kid. She’s a gorgeous little girl (those curls! I want them!) but her mother was just… delusional? Just looking at her face during beauty, I can see the potential for a ‘pageant kid’, but her mum is just… I don’t even know.

    I loved this episode The episodes with Tonya’s pageants are the best!

    “Also – was I the only one that caught the brunette judgy-wudgy cheering Daisy on and clapping for her? ”

    I wasn’t sure about that…I find that T&T often cuts to judge’s faces and people in the audience at certain times but I think it’s to make us THINK they’re looking at the person who is currently on stage, but not necessarily so. Too much can be attributed to editing.

    If those things on Daisy’s dress were supposed to be wings, they looked horrible. Other than that, the dress was beautiful.

    I also agree that Daisy’s hair did not look like glitz hair to me…interesting how the judges didn’t seem to have a problem with it.

    Watching poor Elesha tiptoeing on the stage in her little heels just broke my heart, and the pirate wear “routine”…I had to fast forward…it was just too sad. Either that mother is the most clueless, delusional woman ever to be on this show or she’s a fantastic actress.

    Ok I might get raked over the coals for this…

    When I saw Beth suddenly sporting the knee and wrist braces at the pageant my initial reaction was she is probably on disability and after the T&T crew was at her house she realized that she shouldn’t’ be on TV showing no signs of said disability/injury so she came to the pageant braces in tow in order to keep up her ruse.

    I’m reading all the nasty comments on here. Try to remember these are little girls. Broughnman’s name is spelled b r o u g h n m a n. She competed in pageants from the time she was 2 weeks old. Picking at the spelling of a 4 year olds name is stupid. Would it mattered if her name was grace?… paetynn will tell you quick her name is rosabelle haha you can thank tlc’s editing for making her and many others look like a little monster. I <3 paetynn!

    I thought I had a Mac-attack! I even rewound to make sure.

    And I had to jump on and comment on Beth’s house. Now, Lord knows my house is not the cleanest – it isn’t dirty, it’s just messy. But I’m not out to impress anyone day to day, so if I don’t pick up my socks then so be it. Leave the book on the floor? Sure, I know it’s there and I’m not going to trip on it. But if I know that a camera crew is coming, you’d better believe I’d be cleaning. Once when the water tank was leaking, I took 30 minutes to straighten up and throw crap into closets and under the bed before I called emergency maintenance because I didn’t want them to come in and see my crap laying everywhere. Now I don’t feel so bad for being a bit slobby. Besides, I don’t have time to clean because I’m busy at the ‘gasm!

    @selfabsorbed, I actually had that thought, too.

    There was a dress I really liked in this episode. It was on a toddler, it was Kelly green and bright blue with a big flower on the front. They flashed on the young girl while tonya was talking about all the elements that must come together for a girl to win UGS. Did anybody else notice it? I’m finding myself really drawn to the dresses that have bolder contrasts on them, dark with light stones or light with dark stones or accents. Oh how I’d love to see an ivory dress with green, plum, and fushia stones.
    Then again, that may be too bold.

    Also, why did you guys keep saying “Argh!!” and not “Aye!”

    @gwyn – You think these are nasty comments? Boy, you must be new here. Except for the comments on Paetynn’s behavior (which, sorry, you can’t edit that) nobody has been bashing any of the kids. I think we all agree that Daisy was poised and well-behaved and that Elesha was sweet but totally ill-prepared.

    If you can’t stomach these comments, you had better clear out when the angry pageant moms come to visit.

    Looks like someone’s ( who’s name I couldn’t spell if I wanted to, but sounds like Payton) fan club has arrived! From the looks of how she spelled out Bro-Man’s name for us I’d say she’s the grandma who only uses sworvski (however she butchered the name in interview) crystals and over charges Bro-Man for her pageant wear. You are right georgiababe, she couldn’t handle it if everyone was on a roll like we can be sometimes. Yippy skippy! Let’s have some fun now…

    Tonya, I agree you look like you have lost some weight! You looked fabulous! Good for you!

    As a pageant designer myself (started with my granddaughter, but has spiraled from there)– poor Elesha was dead in the water with that horrid hong-kong shell that some wanna-be designer slapped $25 worth of trim and plastic stones on and ebayed for $150. Her clueless mom probably thought she was getting a deal on a “national” dress. I thought Peyton’s (I refuse to slaughter that name) ooc was cute, but I didn’t see parrot. Where’s the beak? The wings? I did a better parrot ooc as a newbie. Daisy– well, she’s daisy. She’s awesome. Elesha was a really pretty little girl, who (IF she really wants to do it, which is a big IF) has potential, but clueless doesn’t cut it if you want to do glitz pageants in the south.

    “She competed in pageants from the time she was 2 weeks old.”

    Which speaks volumes about the type of family she came from. We’ve seen such ridiculous behaviour on this show before…two week old babies need to be home sleeping, not being paraded around like puppets! Also, I’m sorry, but Broughman or however you spell it is, bar none, the ugliest name ever heard on this show (and we’ve heard some doozies!) Giving a person a name like that should border on child abuse!

    as for beth — did she seem like she had NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON, EVER? i don’t even think she existed on the same plane of reality as other people. she looks CONSTANTLY bewildered, kind of like my “special” cat.

    ” she looks CONSTANTLY bewildered, kind of like my “special” cat.”

    I laughed out loud on that one…one way ticket to hell, coming right up!

    Seriously, though, that poor woman. She was just not there. She reminded me of some students I have taught who have Asperger’s syndrome.

    @Gwyn…the comments here are honestly the tamest I’ve seen in a long time. These are three girls we actually liked. Throw us a girl we don’t care for and then you have something you can complain about. All anybody has said about Paeyton is that she was acting like a brat…which she was. Mind you, she was acting like that because the idiot adults around her were forcing her to sit still while they yanked at her hair, forced her into itchy costumes, and shoved uncomfortable fake teeth in her mouth so who can blame the poor kid. Paeyton’s behaviour is more a reflection on her mother’s poor parenting (how many times did we see her NOT follow through on a threat) and lack of common sense than on the actual child herself.

    @Tonya – You know we love you and your sense of humor. I thought the pirate theme was totally cool and something new – glad you come to comment. Believe me, I’d love to come to a pageant but you know some of those parents might get stabby if anyone ever found out who I was. Plus, I’m still fighting those doping charges, just waitin’ for Oprah to call.

    Hi Ziplock – actually I did know which kid belonged to which mom, no worries I just thought it was funny one family was kind of hoarding then another kid mentioned Hoarders…it was like TLC was trying to promote another company’s show. And I could watch Hoarders ALL DAY LONG I love it so much. Makes MY clutter look less imposing. The dust rhinos under the dining room table DO make me nervous, however.

    @sagittariuskim – Elesha did remind me of Riley/Bob…they should set up a playdate! They were all sort of on the same wavelength.

    @gwyn – run now, you have no idea what you are up against.

    Also, I LOVED the wings and I’m holding my position on that. But I wear them to work and suddenly I seem like a nutcase…no one understands me!

    WOW! This episode almost made me want to cry. Poor Elesha, her mother was totally clueless!! Could not believe her behavior at the end when they were doing the parent interviews. She looked like she was on another planet. Did anyone else catch that it looked like she was looking at both women with one eye each? Really strange. Such a cute girl too and has tons of potential but I think her mother needs to hang up the pageant shoes and BURN the pitiful dress that she was so proud of (really sad because she REALLY was proud of it, but is totally clueless). Daisy was a doll and fun to watch perform, and Paetynn was a little bratty but very cute. Can’t wait for the full recap Crabby!

I wonder why she did not wear it and/or they did not show her in it? Also, why the hell did Beth go on stage with Elisha during crowning? None of the other mothers were up there and she looked ridiulous. It is hard to snark on her because something is just not right with her…….

    And whoever mentioned the disability payments may be right…..I just don’t see how she functions at a real job. From the looks of her home she can’t even throw trash away…….the children were sweet but it seems to be a sad situation.

    @SparkleMcSnarkle-Yes! Another Amish Mafia watcher! That show is totes redic! MR Z took control of the remote Wednesday night, and we were watching that and not T&T…sad that I missed a Mak cameo, and this epi sounds so awesomely bad

But, A person can usually tell if it is worth watching, A-because of Crabby’s mini-cap. Usually the headline gives it away. or B- the comments here on just 1 page of Crabby’s opinion..So seriously now, if your kid is a brat, how is that being mean? All kids are brats! Hell even adults can be brats…Shit, I’d be a brat to if it was past my nap time, someone is trying to stick stuff on my eyes and won’t leave my hair alone…I think the worst thing about Paetynn is the spelling of her name..!

    Posted January 18, 2013 at 10:16 am

    Oh man, where to start with this one? What is up with the spelling for names in this pageant? Broughman? Elesha? Paetynn?? I can’t do much more than just shake my head.

    Onto the girls: I think we’ve discovered that the term " Firecracker " is applied to an insufferable little brat on the show. Paetynn was no different. She was annoying but luckily for her (and her mom) she actually knows how to charm on stage. I thought for sure she was going to be a disaster but hey, once those spotlights are on she gets much better. Good for her, I guess. Her mom needs to learn the definition of discipline, if I acted like that as a child I would have been in so much trouble.

    Then we have totally clueless Elesha and her completely moronic mother. That child was……terrible! She doesn’t want to be on stage and it shows! She is 5 but competing like she is a 2 year old. Her hair and makeup were horrendous but let’s not blame the hair and makeup lady because her mom thinks it’s acceptable to bring her to a glitz pageant looking like that and not be made fun of. Right. She couldn’t even perform beauty correctly and didn’t smile once on stage. And her dress was clearly a costume from Target so no chance of winning with that thing on! Her mom describes her practice for her Outfit of Choice as " We put the music on in the car a few times. She’s good at adlibbing " Is she? Looks to me like she just waved the sword and ran around a lot. But funnier still is that she actually believed her daughter looked as polished as these girls who practice hard and receive training. She said she looks just like the seasoned girls and she expects a high title? Rigggggghhht. Call me when that happens. The mom didn’t even have the sense to be embarrassed by what she did but little Elesha seemed mortified. She said she needed to practice and get help from her mom. Poor child.

    Daisy, we all know Daisy. She’s an awesome competitor, she’s beautiful and she brings it on stage. Perfect faces, perfect feet, perfect outfits. Her dance background has made her disciplined so she’s always ready to kill it on stage and she WANTS to win. I have nothing more to say about her really, the hot messes are so much more fun to talk about.

    In other news, I saw on FB that Taralynn won the Grand Supreme for this pageant and with all the former TnT faces they showed (Mackenzie, Kayleigh) that we didn’t get a glimpse of her face. Or maybe I just missed it somehow? She was one of my favorite pageant girls so I’m disappointed she hasn’t been back on the show. Ah well.

    Ellmemop; I’m with you–Browman would be expected to give her kid a name like Payteen with the idiotic name she was given. She looked so mousy brown and that perma Martyr expression; it summed her up when she siad how unfair it was that she worked so hard and Payteen ruined it. She could be more deluded than Beth! Maybe more deluded than the twit who thinks these comments are mean! Ummm, Brownman, your daughter is a brat; where shall we begin with your incompetant parenting–where you fail to stop her from WRITING on walls with marker? WTF?

    Where does that twit see criticism of girlS? The consensus is that Elesha and Daisy are well behaved with criticism thrown at only ONE girl; Payteen and the criticism is aimed at Mama’s idiot parenting and frog marching of the kid to do shit Payteen clearly doesn’t want any part of; geez at least poor deluded Beth’s children are well behaved.

    Did Payteen’s flipper not fit her properly? Because all I could think of was Mr Bean’s teeth baring smile when she was doing beauty. Or maybe a chihuahua’s lip curl smile.

    We all know that a lot of editing goes on but why oh why would crazypants people, knowing this as well as we all do, allow a TV crew in their house? Beth just is deluded (but sweet and a good mom) but the others? Surely they can’t think they will come off well unless they’re a NikkiBot deluded in a self aggrandizing way. Must make them positively churn and writhe that Honey Boo has her own show. And, I don’t know–but I think already way more successful than Eden’s attempt?

    https://www.facebook.com/pages/Paetynn-Boones-OfficialPage/316627191700907?fref=ts

    Here’s the page descriptor:

    Paetynn is my funny child…..she used to kick and scream on stage but now she kicks and screams to get on stage! She loves pageants bc “she’s bweutiful” (imagine a 3 year old saying it) but when she isn’t getting ready for pageant day,She’s in the dirt!

    Myself, I would have edited to read:

    Payteen is my bratty child … she kicks and screams everywhere but on stage but now especially when asked meekly to not write on the walls with marker! She loves pageants because she is beautifully showing up my lack of competence as a parent (imagine, just 3 years old and she’s smarter than me) but when she isn’t screaming and kicking about getting ready for pageant day, she’s laughing at how next to sabotage all my hard work to live through her success at winning dimestore crowns* and crappy sashes.

    @wireless; I laugh at how inflated the claims to superstardom are too! The best was the show on Paisley in NYC with her “agent”–now normally that would be a business relationship and the agent would get a percentage of Paisley’s earnings, right? No, he works gratis AND arranges freebies like clothing for her. I haven’t noted Paisley on Disney pages or anything yet.

    *But I would totes dress up in itchy wear, plaster makeup on, toodle around with a sword and whatever else it would take to get one of those AWESOME pirate crowns; though I lean more towards the lesser tiara ones. Love, love those crowns!

     Hopefully she won’t read this but I know someone who is named “Cera” pronounced “Kira”. So her mother just spelled it funny. Kira is a fine name but why spell it weird? I had no idea how to say it when I first met her because I saw it written before meeting her.

     She also named her second son a speshul spelling name. “Jaxon” for Jackson. Ugh. Jackson is a great name but why on earth spell it that way?!

     Folks used to innocently post spoilers within the first few lines of their posts; not realising that just because the recap has posted doesn’t mean everyone has seen the episode. It was difficult to ignore when the spoilers were right there on the front page.

     Doesn’t happen much anymore and I don’t call it a spoiler anymore if you have read more than 1 paragraph..

     Take care, Robin

     @selfabsorbed: No coal-raking intended here. I did notice a pair of crutches and a folded walker right next to the door out of Beth’s house into her garage. This was in the scene of Alicia* practicing in the garage with her mother and brother.
