I almost forgot what “D-I-V-O-R-C-E” was about until I looked it up.

Dan & Roseanne go out for the night, leaving Jackie to babysit. But when Jackie is late, they think she’s not showing up. So Becky is left in charge.  They then establish that if anything happens to Becky, Darlene is in charge. And then DJ asks about him being in charge. I can’t remember the exact quote, but I believe Roseanne said, “Yes, DJ, if your sisters are dead, you’re in charge”.

While out, Roseanne & Dan run into an old friend, who says she’s now divorced. But Roseanne has inspired her to follow her dream & go back to school.  Roseanne & Dan enjoy their lovely night of dining, dancing, & just chatting without the headache of their 3 children. I can’t remember if it was this episode, but I believe they discussed who would get the kids if they ever divorced.

Dan: I hope I can see you again.
Roseanne: Well you can’t. Because I’m happily married and madly in love with my husband.
Dan: Is he bigger than me? He must be a lucky guy.
Roseanne: Yeah, and he better not ever forget it either.

Meanwhile, Darlene decides she’s going to try to make popcorn.

Becky: Mom & Dad said we’re not allowed to use the stove.
Darlene: That’s why I’m going to use a heating pad.
Becky: Okay, but I’m telling you, it’s not going to work.

I don’t think it ever did. But they never said. Clever idea, but I can’t imagine how long it would take to pop popcorn on a heating pad. No, I’m not going to personally try it myself lol. But if anyone else has, feel free to share that story.

Jackie shows up, but the kids toy with her & don’t let her in. So Jackie replies with “I’ve got better things to do than babysit the Three Little Pigs!” & apparently leaves. The kids aren’t as dumb as Jackie thinks, & runs to lock the back door. However, she was one step ahead of them. As they’re hiding at the back door to see where she is, she sneaks up from behind them & screams, scaring the crap out of them.

I’m going to assume she had an extra key. That, or the kids didn’t lock the door like they think they did. I’m not sure, lol.

Good episode. Not one I’m always watching constantly, cuz I watch the same few episodes constantly, but I do like this one.
