Alice, the future Let them Eat Cake, I’m gonna Sulk queen!

Frosting is good for sulking.

An aid for sulking … since when did Alice ever need an aid for sulking?

Alice has become a grumpy, irritable, embittered old man.

Comfort eating……

Hmm… aid to sulking.

She ate the icing, so now she is blue…

The Very Special Chair was supposed to be the icing on the cake

“I may have eaten the icing, but I didn’t really enjoy it!”

Well, yeah…

“I didn’t eat it! Dill carried it home with him!”

Sounds to me like Nara is being selfish

I don’t know about her wanting to “get the chair”.

Mom’s usually put ice on kids’ boo-boos. Alice is using icing for her mental boo-boo.

I think her mom wants to give Alice the chais as well.

Why isn’t Alice’s face blue from eating the icing like Dill’s was?

Sulky Alice at her worst. Madeline is so very forbearing….

From this we learn: it doesn’t pay to be out sick. Stay well, Alice!
