YAY! T.J. is on board. Let the month long party begin!

Maybe they should pay Jonah for the great privilege of watching Shannon for so long? :)

If TJ never has fun, there’s no reason for the constant Joker grin.

That’s what he said Toni.

Does TJ have a job or a life apart from living with Brad and Toni?

Yep. Toni. You are the boring one but that’s ok. You bring balance to this household

You aren’t fun. You’re just a boring married couple.

If TJ on board with having Shannon it’s party month. Toni don’t take to hard you have to bring some balance to household.

Yeah, that’s what he said.

A fellow Shannon appreciator.

(It is surprising there are so few of us. Go figure.)

We’ll see if TJ’s changes his mind at the halfway point.

So the enabling wins again

TJ’s gonna teach Shannon to cook. Toni’ll get her dream Stepford Shannon!

TJ’ll also help Brad out with his dream too. Brad’ll be wondering why all 6 kids have olive complexions, black curly hair, an smiles bigger’n the ones Jay drew last week.

TJ’s a good friend!

Toni and Brad have a dull, dead end marriage. I don’t think that they even had a honeymoon.

Wouldn’t it be a scream if TJ ends up adopting the kid? BTW, Frank and Nancy own the house where they all live. How do THEY feel about Shannon there?

Looks like they found their babysitter.

Yes, TJ said that. In a round-about way.

Time for TJ to find his own place way overdue.

Why don’t TJ move out and take custody of Shannon?

Yeah, Toni.

Old Smiley just said that you guys are “No fun.”

And considering what His idea of “fun” has been over the years, I’d be VERY concerned about that “statement.”

But hey, if it’s “fun” he wants then put HIM in charge of Shannon for a month, while you two move into a Red Roof Inn or something.

Too bad this Month long Babysitting ordeal didn’t happen last year.

Else ya’ll could have moved into Gunther’s vacant room at the Gulag for FREE.

Al and Irma wouldn’t have minded……,;-)

Hmmm, what if Shannon doesn’t want to go back with her dad after a month?

Sure. An adult roommate is going to WANT an 8 year old in the household for a month. The Evanses clearly have no respect for viewership if they think we’re going to find THIS credible…

Yes, he did.

Take it, Toni!

Bad idea! Bad idea! Pairing TJ with Shannon is like… like… pairing Salem with Sephiroth!!

what a discreet way of saying how boring they are. :}

I wonder if TJ is gonna get his very own storyline. All we ever see him do these days is live with Brad and Toni.

TJ is a pedo

Agree with TJ, without Shannon the life in that house is him cooking and Toni and Brad flirting almost constantly. Definitely a boring place. Shannon is a hurricane, she brings chaos, but also vitality and joy. It will be really fun to see how they’ll come out of that busy month.

Duct tape and chloroform: good for dating, good for babysitting!

TJ and Shannon, same mental age.

I just had the weirdest thought. If Jonah eventually goes full-on flake, how about having TJ adopt Shannon?

I guess, since TJ rarely has much to do with Shannon, he can enjoy her company from a distance and leave the real caring up to the others.

Toni, you two are fun. It’s just some of the things you do for fun are private.

spray alcohal on your bed and just watch

Seriously, Shannon was already dropped off, why are they struggling with this now?

It’s good Toni and Brad bring TJ into the decision. BUT – a month of deciding to keep Shannon (this has been going on since June 18) and another month of keeping Shannon? Way to drag out an arc.

Did he just say we’re no fun? Maybe for each other…

Truth hurts.

Where is Shannon going to sleep?

He just said he’s a big kid.

I like TJ. He uses a separate spoon to taste his cooking. Many people taste from the cooking spoon and put it back in the pot. Yuck!

TJ is making a yummy beef and vegetable stew with red wine, which such a nice touch.

Of course. TJ’s just as irritating and irresponsible as the kid. Bleah. Ask someone with common sense, like Al Grey.

Too heavy on t he soy sauce. YOU eat it

The taking care of Shannon will only get worse. The more work Jonah gets the more he will have to “board” Shannon. Unless he makes enough to hire a caretaker.

Yikes!

They had to ask him for permission and then thank him for allowing it?

I figured TJ would get involved as he always had a good rapport with Shannon. Quite the challenge he tossed in! Let’s see if B n T act on it! ;-))

Then let T.J. take care of that insupportable, unlovable brat!!

Good for you T.J.

I always have the impression that he is the scion of wealth.

i’m going to suggest that w/ TJ looking after Shannon he may have some words of advice for her that could get her to make a course correction. But we will see. If she stays a month, we may end up looking in on this household several weeks from now to see how things are going

TJ just has a different idea of what fun is.

“Great, so you’ll take care of her for the month, then. It’s a deal!”

Maybe they shouldn’t have asked TJ.

No, he didn’t say that you’re no fun, but he did just put wine in the soup.

If it’s no fun maybe you should move out
