Super Special #11 - The Baby-Sitters Remember

Plot
The Babysitters are on summer vacation and they are having a slumber party. They are discussing their summer homework assignment - an essay entitled "What I did this summer" - and complaining the assignment is so lame. Jessi says she wishes the assignment had been more thought-provoking, like "what is your most vivid memory"...

Highlights

• Kristy's most vivid memory is when her mom let her babysit David Michael by herself for the first time, and it started her obsession with babysitting. 
• MaryAnne's is when she had what she thought was a really horrible babysitter, but when she is babysitting for MA, Claudia and Kristy one night they spend the night playing jokes on her and she plays right along. That's when MA discovered how important it is to be a good, fun babysitter. (I think this is a super lame "most vivid" memory.)
• Claudia's is my favorite - it is when, in first grade, they are given a homework assignment to make a self portrait. Claudia makes this amazing butterfly, full of color and life. Then, at school, she gets in trouble for not understanding the assignment and not taking it seriously. She goes home and cries to Mimi, and Mimi marches right to the school and tells the art teacher that Claudia is the ONLY one who understood the assignment, and she drew how she sees herself. 
• Stacey's is then she got super sick in New York when she first got diabetes but she wasn't diagnosed yet. She gets sick at a slumber party and wets the bed she is sharing with Laine. All her friends tell everyone at school; the entire school is terrible to her, plus she gets officially diagnosed and they can't get her blood sugar under control, so she is in the hospital a lot. When her dad tells her they are moving to Connecticut, she can't wait. 
• Dawn's is when her parents tell her and Jeff they are getting divorced and the kids are moving with their mom to Stoneybrook. 
• Mallory's is when she stands in line to meet her favorite author, then can't speak to her when she gets to the front of the line and just bursts into tears. She decides she will be an author someday so she can have that same affect on someone.
• Jessi's is when her baby brother is born. 
• Shannon's is my least favorite. It's when a new girl comes to her school and "picks" girls from the class to be best friends with. When it's Shannon's turn, Shannon is busy studying to be in the Astronomy Club. She hangs out with her for awhile, but then decides the club is more important and tells her she can't hang out, so she gets ditched. She can't believe she almost gave up a chance to be in the Astronomy Club to hang out with someone. Dumb. 
• Logan's is moving to Stoneybrook, meeting MaryAnne and falling in LUV.
• I'm so glad Abby isn't in the club yet bc I would cry my eyes out if her vivid memory was losing her dad.
