She did ask Dina's parents to adopt her that one time.

I wonder if Sarah still has a little sister in this universe.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.

Why do Americans think that saying "pip pip" makes them sound English? I haven't heard anyone saying "pip pip" outside of a P.G.Wodehouse dramatisation (and not that often in those) ... well, ever, so far as I recall.

It seems like a posh expression that was fashionable for about ten minutes in the Victorian era and never again.

It's a sin to tell a lie

"Honour thy father and thy mother"? She apparently is. That's kind of the point here, isn't it?

But what's the other one she's fluffed? I'm sure that she doesn't work Sundays, and I don't see any graven images in her room... I guess she may have coveted something, but I'm not sure what. And the lie to her mother wasn't actually bearing false witness against a neighbour. I guess she may just read number nine as a blanket prohibition on lying.

Unfortunately, the ten commandments is an all-or-nothing deal. (At least, that's how I remember it being explained to me.)

Yeah... and she's even outright lying, which means she can't take the early Christian defense of Prevarication, that misleading by omitting information can be serviceable in the greater good.

That said, it's always been a matter of interpretation. Just look at how "Thou shalt not kill" (closer to "Thou shalt not murder") and "Thou shalt not commit adultery" (It's explicitly stated in the Gospels that lusting after a woman is committing adultery, but the Old Testament establishes that a fair amount of behavior is not adultery as long as it's not with married people).

She's going to sleep in her Uggs?

Well, I needed to add some comic relief somehow.

On the few occasions I've slept in an upper bunk, I've found the ladder really uncomfortable to stand on in bare feet, so I'd wear shoes to climb up, and if I was thinking ahead, I'd keep them on the bed so I could wear them again to go back down.

It isn't Becky's fault.

You cruised through high school without really trying, and thus didn't really know how to study?

Write the crib notes on your girlfriend. Not that you'll have her strip for the test, just that it'll make it easier to remember.

Has Bryan shown up in the Walkyverse before or is he actually Original Generation?

EDIT And I just answered my own question.
