OMG, there’s a Baby Parade! Kristy and the gang grapple with the age-old question “What if illegal daycare, but on a poorly-conceived parade float?"

The family makes minor economies for two weeks, he becomes a degenerate in casual clothes for a day or two, and then everything is fine again and they don’t even have to sell their ten-seater boat.

OMG, Claudia and Dawn are doing illegal daycare while lost at sea! How did this happen, you ask? It turns out they’re massively into sailing, just huge boat-heads, and they always have been, you just didn’t notice. Don’t worry if you don’t know anything about sailing, though – neither does Ann.

OMG, there’s a mystery in Stoneybrook! Fortunately Stacey’s on the case, and it turns out she’s psychic maybe?
