Someone give Tiffany a clue. Because it is obvious she doesn’t have one on how to guide these kids.

Maybe Tiffany could get a job as a greeter at the local health club… Just welcome the folks in, and don’t say anything else…

…you’re going to dash their little hopes when you tell them they can’t come. ^I think she probably just did realize she backed into a ‘tight space’, that she can’t seem to get out of, there! Hence the ‘straining blue eyes’, and as Archie would put it, her struggle to ‘stifle it’… Lol!

I wonder how Luann’s group is getting on?

…Miss Hannigan from Annie has nothing on Miss Tiffany… ^But at least, unlike the orphan’s lament in their song in “Annie”, Tiffany was willing to give them treats… don’t think she’d actually kick them, though… hmmm… well… at least not really hard…

Oh Isn’t That Precious.
Auntie Tiff is Teaching the “Little Tax Deductions” ALL about SLAVE LABOR.
Isn’t She Great Kids? Let’s ANOINT Her Head with PASTE and GLITTER.
JayBluE about 11 years ago
LOL! Yeah, that was hilarious, and ironic, to boot! – I remember, too, the one time that she actually got up the courage to tell Archie to stifle it!
JayBluE about 11 years ago
That “anointing” would make her the “Queen (King) Of Pain”!

Tiffany actually wanted to have these little kids plan a party for older kids? That they can’t go to? Surprising even for Tiff.

Forget your vile scheme, Tiffany! These little kids are too smart for you! And their innocence will trump your sluggish plotting every time!

Tiff will make a rotten mother some day.
TORAD_07 about 11 years ago
Tiff, you stuffed your foot in it waaaaaayyy too much, this time. Why don’t you let the kids tell you what they want, and see if you can work on that.
BTW, Exam 1 of 2 passed! Exam 2 of 2 same time next week.

“Instead of Goofus and Gallant, we have Tiffany and Luann to show the wrong and right way to do things.”--Interesting analogy, and spot on, only Tiffany(goofus) doesn’t grimace.
ewalnut about 11 years ago
What is a “spirit week dance?” If it’s associated with high school cheerleading, it’s a no. But a Halloween costume party might not be a bad idea.
imbaldeagle about 11 years ago
Did Tiff take planning lessons from T.J.? Oh, Yeah, the firemen’s lunches; living in Toni’s house to fool Dirk… Now I get it.

Is it just me…or am I seeing the next gen of Delta, Bernice, and Luann in those three girls?
seismic-2 Premium Member about 11 years ago
Yep, you pretty much pegged the roles that Tiffany and Luann play in Greg’s little daily melodramas. Perhaps Tiffany should wear a stovepipe hat and a giant handlebar mustache, and Luann should wear a Royal Canadian Mounted Police Uniform, as a clue to any new readers. But fear not – Luann Doright will save the day and rescue this class of Little Nells from the clutches of evil Tiff. “Curses,” she says, “foiled again!!!”

Tiff should get together with Lu and throw a mini party for the kids.

Tiffany’s about to throw a party for the kids.
Just SEE if she doesn’t turn human after all.

At my alma mater, the answer would be yes. They would get to help make the decorations for the float, attend the parade, and stay up late enough to cheer the team to victory. They would get to help paint the windows of the stores and businesses downtown and accompany the float to the dump on Saturday morning where they would dismantle the float and keep something from it for a souvenir, plus they would get to help wash the windows free of the paint. Then they could be treated to a hot dog picnic in the park. Do you think Tiff could arrange it? No, she is just too “me, me, me”.

It would appear the Gov. of California was listening to us!
Just saw this Internet article, indicating that Gov. Jerry Brown of California has signed into a law a bill banning “revenge Porn.” It is classified as a misdemeanor, 6mos. + $1,000.00 fine. It would seem that Tiff might have been charged with this, if the law were active during her “locker room” incident (and if they charged her as an “adult”).
And thanks, all, for the congrats! Busily working on Exam 2 of 2 now. Hard stuff.

I graduated in ‘58. I started hearing about Spirit this and that from my kids in the 70s and 80s. These kids will party for anything. and they called us ’wild teens’. Fat’s Domino, Elvis, BB King and Lil Richard where are you. Do they still slow dance?

Tiffany will go far in government service, smoke and mirrors, stupidity and no morals.
Argy.Bargy2 about 11 years ago
There have been a lot of ideas exchanged about why Tiffany wanted this job. Some suggested that she owed her parents a lot of money because she charged a big donation to the drama camp. Others thought they only reason she wanted the job was because Luann wanted it. Now that she’s tried to recruit kids to work on her High School Spirit Dance decorations, I see another motive. A lot of kids volunteer for activities like planning and creating the decorations for a dance as part of building up their list of ‘credits’ in the yearbook, to show how much they’ve done. Others do that so they can include that info in a college or future entry level job application. And still others will volunteer for this kind of activity because it brings them into contact with those we used to call the ‘popular’ kids. But not all who volunteer actually plan to do the work. I think Tiffany wanted the job of assisting with the care of grade school kids after school so she could put the kids to work creating those decorations, and she could then take credit for that work.

Poor Harmony/Tiffany. Wanting nothing more than to be adored, but with entirely wrong ideas about how to even be liked.
Argy.Bargy2 about 11 years ago
But this is a grade school where Luann and Tiffany are working after hours. Grade schools don’t usually have dances for their kids, and spirit activities are more for high school age kids. It’s not about Hallowe’en, it’s partly about football homecoming and partly about team or school spirit.

Greg put up a tease about what happened to Quill/MPQ/Qcumber/Quilly Boy on Facebook…. Quote: “Stay Tuned”….

Tiff, you’re talking to kids and not teenagers. Remember?
vldazzle about 11 years ago
Have to steal a creation from Susan Sunshine or StelBel for that anointing of glitter. Nobody has shown me how to accomplish that.
BTW, today is Riverhawk’s B-day and I seem to be the only one so far to wish him one over at BS. Everyone was so kind for mine; I hope he gets more greetings.
sarafaye about 11 years ago
My guess is this little faux pas will go nowhere, and tomorrow we will move on with more “Tiffany is clueless about how to bond with children.”

Close- he’s credited as Rob Reiner… but of course, there’s the whole “Bob vs. Rob” thing…

Do they still slow dance?
That’s when you have to watch them more closely…
The wife and I still slow dance, though :)
Actually, not very much slow dancing, anymore, A year ago, I happened to chaperone my niece’s “sweet 16.” Pretty much very active dancing, line dancing, and the like (think: “I’m sexy and I know it…”). They really didn’t need “slow dancing” to do things we’d need to be “watching.” But most at my niece’s party were very well behaved, I must say. Only a little bit of “snogging,” here and there.
“Wiggle…Wiggle…Wiggle…Wiggle…Wiggle…Wiggle…Wiggle!” ;-)))

There’s an actual “National Talk Like A Pirate Day” nationally, which was a week or two, ago… I believe any school ones will have missed out by that time… Ours never did one, at least during my time there… AAARGH, so frustrating, Lol!… ;-)

“Will our heroine Luann, realize what nefarious things Tiffany is plotting and set things right in time by inviting the kids to come to the dance?” Oh, that is good! ;)
