* When the [=BSC=] disbands in ''Kristy's Worst Idea,'' the parents they sit for ''freak out.'' Mrs. Arnold -- mother of twins who the club had to convince her to not to treat like one person -- actually cries, while Mrs. Wilder -- the mother of genius brat Rosie -- wants to have the girls over for counseling, and Mr. Papadakis -- father of Karen's best friend Hannie -- offers the club a retainer to stay together (which confuses Claudia at first- the only retainer she's heard of is the device people wear to keep their teeth straight after having their braces removed). Claudia gets so fed-up with parents calling her at all hours trying to find a sitter that she forces one dad to help her with her math homework.

* In ''Boy Crazy Stacey,'' Kristy is home in Stoneybrook babysitting Karen and Andrew, and Karen wheedles her father into letting them wash one of his old, never used cars. Andrew, not knowing any better, uses ''steel wool'' to scrub it, which ends up scratching off the paint. Kristy, being the responsible one, is the one who ends up with the job of explaining it to her stepfather. Luckily, Watson is hesitantly not too angry about it-- the car is, as mentioned, one he almost never uses except in an emergency, and he admits there's a silver lining-- he has ''always'' wanted to own a purple car, and now he has an excuse to just paint the one he already has. Karen eagerly tries to get her father to let her and Andrew paint the car.
-->Watson: No.
-->Elizabeth: Absolutely not.
-->Kristy: When chickens have lips.

* While it's mostly a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming, Kristy's statement of "That's all?" about TheReveal of Stacey's diabetes and Stacey's befuddlement at Kristy's theory of Stacey having an eating disorder is worth a giggle or two.

* Janine mentions she knows about Claudia hiding books from the Nancy Drew "serial" in her room and assures her she won't tell their parents, who have forbidden them. Claudia mentally says that she does indeed hide food in room but no cereal.
