My 8th grade math teacher was single and childless, but she considered herself a fount of good advice on how kids should be parented—especially her students. According to her, all our parents were doing it wrong!
All my grade school (1-8) teachers were ‘unmarried single women’ .. since they were all nuns (went to a parochial school). They were all good at using a ruler, yardstick or bench brush for handing out ‘correction’, which was deemed necessary to knock the ‘devil’ out of all us boys.
“And make sure that the judges are fair, you don’t want what happened to that Canadian pair to happen to you!” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Winter_Olympics_figure_skating_scandal
So we have a whole bunch of people in the Capitol, who know nothing about health, know nothing about climate, know nothing about engineering, safety, economy, running a business … but they are smart enough to tell the people who do know these things how to do them. Yup, that explains a lot.
George Carlin said something along those same lines about the judges referring to Catholic priests who would counsel couples about their marriages and sex lives.

With that wig, she might land a role in “Annie” though.

Bad logic, Marcie. But she’s just a kid.

Peppermint Patty looks like she’s going roller skating instead of ice skating.

Let’s hope that wig doesn’t fly off while she executes some fancy spin

PP reminds me of “Carol”, the receptionist on the Bob Newhart show.

That wig reminds me of Eric Clapton’s ‘fro’ days when he was in Cream.

The judges may not be good skaters but, if Peppermint Patty is fortunate, they’ll all be good skates.

unmarried marriage counselors makes sense to me… they know enough not to get married

Unmarried marriage counselors and divorced marriage counselors. Would you buy a cure for baldness from the man who has no hair?

LOL! Patty looks like Freida, the girl with “naturally curly hair” who always wants Snoopy to chase rabbits.
