This is the famous "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia" episode! Yip Yip Yipee!!! This is followed at the end by the less famous and MUCH less dramatic "Jan, Jan, Jan" uttered unenthusiastically by Cindy.
Incident #30: Alice is stuck making pom-poms for Jan. Why is it that she seems to always get stuck with the craft projects?? She's making them out of strands of newspaper that she's cutting up into strips. From the look of the pile of paper strands, she's been at this for quite some time! But she's as happy as a clam while her hands start to cramp and making dinner doesn't seem all that important. The interesting thing is what happens when we see her next with the "pom-poms". They turn out to be mop heads! So sometime in between when we last saw her struggling with the paper and now with the mop heads, she made an independent decision to change strategy and describes it as "best thing I could do on short notice." Is this possible???? Oh my god there is so much wrong about this! First of all, she was MAKING pom-poms with strips of paper. Now all of a sudden she's walking out with mop handles?!?! Second, something made her switch. It could be one of two things: either she got tired of cutting up strips of paper and independently decided to switch to mop heads, OR Jan (or someone else, probably someone else) told Alice that the pom-poms were needed right at that moment and to get off her ass and get her those pom-poms and we don't care WHAT they are! If Alice actually did make an independent decision, then this is the first one I've seen since starting this BLOG. Way to go, Alice!
