Excellent, Carolyn. *sets plot bunnies and planning zebra to learning it by heart*

But five Mary Lous and eleven Maynards, all meddling. The Chalet School sounds a very scary place when you put things like that  ;)

*offers Julie a large box of assorted distracting thoughts to stop her thinking about 5 Mary-Lou's*

How interesting that we've all cringed at the thought of 5 Mary-Lous!!  Who were the docs all marrying!   ;D

ML seemed just right for that line, even though I knew what your reaction would be!  ;D

Maynards meddle, I think it is genetic.

As for the doctors, I think old girls and mistress' mainly, although an odd sixth former is a possibility.

I had a little trouble getting some of this to scan, but I think it is singable. I did get some funny looks from the children, but that isn't unusual, ;D

Glad you all like it.

for the grin smiley you need to type 8 o o (but without the spaces between the number/letters)

Better that I planned in that case. Or should I try and pretend that I had counted them too.

No, none of you would believe me, pure co-incidence!  ;D

Wonderful Carolyn, but wouldn't there actually be thirty-five Mary-Lous - 5 each day from days five to twelve?

Post by Carolyn P on Dec 22nd, 2003, 12:07am
*Shrugs*
Don't ask me, I just followed the pattern of the original song. If you want 35 Mary-Lou's then feel free to have them. :o

I would have thought 5 OOAOs would have been enough, but you people always have to have more, don't you? Even if it's something you don't like!!!
