Perfect Mom

Mark here... So Laurel and I are settling in with a delicious Mac and Cheese and fresh Caesar Salad (complete with coddled egg ...but sorry no fresh anchovies, just anchovy paste).


Anyway, this next episode is called, " Perfect Mom" and is all about how Kelly's mom is so ideal. Of course, looks can be deceiving and it turns out Kelly' s mom is an addict. This contrasts with Brenda's mom Cindy who is just not hip enough for Brenda. I'm a huge Brenda/Shannen Doherty fan, but damn is Brenda bitchy! It's sort of funny at points as she's yelling at everyone. Not so funny is of course Andrea, who shows up to annoy again. In this episode there's a mother daughter fashion show and even Andrea's mother can't bear to go with her, so she ends up tagging along with Brenda and Cindy. Everyone makes a point of telling her how beautiful she is...meanwhile no one is saying this to anyone else....hmmm? In any case, Kelly's mom has a drug induced meltdown that totally embarrasses Kelly...and eventually leads her back to rehab....

Laurel here...This episode holds a place close to my heart, because like Kelly, I have one of those moms who wants to be your best friend instead of being your mom (although to be fair I don't think my mom has EVER done cocaine). And like many of my friends, Brenda thinks Kelly's mom is the coolest, totally oblivious to the fact that it actually sucks to have parents that let you do whatever you want all the time and consider your friends to be their friends...but I digress. The bottom line of this episode is that Brenda thinks Kelly's mom is the coolest and her mom is the worst...but at the end of the day realizes that Kelly's mom is not so hot, her mom is actually awesome, and Andrea is actually the one who is the worst. Ok maybe she doesnt realize the part about Andrea yet but I do.

Cocktail moments of this episode: Jim gets a new Casio keyboard and plays it a lot...'nuff said.

Also whenever Kelly's mom "powders her nose". At one point she is in the bathroom with, like, 8 empty stalls, but of course does it out in the open right by the door anyway and gets caught by Cindy! All you have to do is choose any one of the 8 empty stalls dummy!

Style award this episode...another tie. Kelly's mom in her gold fringed bikini, and Brenda in her special cool jeans...you be the judge!
