Angela Anaconda

Looking to confirm once and for all that Mr. and Mrs. Brinks are weekend nudists, Angela and her friends attempt to rebuild their treehouse higher and higher until it surpasses the fence and Gordy's topiary, thus assuring them the best seats in the house. Angela comes down with Pink Eye and gets to wear an eyepatch. Not to be outdone, Nanette shows up the next day in a wheelchair, claiming that Angela stepped on and crushed her dancing toe; this not only reassures her popularity, but also Angela's servitude at Mrs. Brinks' insistence.

After Josephine teaches the class about Ash Wednesday, Nanette, wanting her memory to live on for eternity, suggests that the entire class participate in sacrificing something for forty days. While Angela gives up imagining things about other people, Nanette embarks on a superficial vow of poverty. Sherman the class chicken escapes his box and Angela convinced Mrs. Jenerette the school crossing guard to help get him back, much to Nanette's inconvenience. As a result, the beloved crossing guard is fired at Mrs. Manior's whim. Wracked with guilt, Angela helps Mrs. Jenerette try to get re-employed.

Angela goes on a chore strike when she realizes that her allowance is the lowest in town. Gina's heart seemingly has gone to Jimmy Jamal, much to Gordy's deep dismay. All hope seems lost until Angela discovers that Gina and Jimmy's affair rests on not what goes on in the latter's heart, but his lunchbox.

"Babble Balls" were all the rage in Tapwater Springs--until Angela had enough money buy one. Now she comes to learn from Nanette and the other kids that it's "Bug Thugs" which are currently 'da bomb'. Grandma Lou comes for a visit and Angela goes to great lengths to make sure they room together. But between the boring stories, the snoring, and waking up face to face with Grandma Lou's detachable leg. Angela's dream roommate turns out to be a nightmare.

Gina Lash comes to Angela's house for a sleepover. However, things go out of plan when Angela's family starts paying more attention and idolism to Gina rather than Angela herself. Distracted by an orange sash and delusions of grandeur, Angela volunteers for hall monitor duties, and quickly learns of its drawbacks. This is especially true when she incurs the wrath of Nanette, whom she cites for littering.

Josephine Praline reveals that her mother has agoraphobia. Angela tries to use this as an excuse to avoid not only school, but Mrs. Brinks's chalk erasers. Angela misses her chance to return a copy of Happy Hoppy Bunny to the library and not get fined. Angela tries all attempts to sneak the book back into the library without either Miss Yamagotchi or Nanette noticing.
