I always crack up on that one.

"Well," she says "My 'Hu' went one way and my 'La' went another." Great stuff, Ann B.

Originally Posted By Ursula I liked when we learned more about Alice during one of the Jan episodes.

Then all of a sudden, Jan gets a necklace to brighten her day. Low and behold, we learn the necklace was from Alice who also was a middle-child and felt Jan's pain.

Then, all the kids had to head for the ice cream parlor where Alice had found a job and beg her to come back.
