Sarah’s School Days/Quotes

Sarah's First Day of School
Stacy: [whispers] Hi. I'm Sarah's mother. Today is Sarah's first day of school. She is going there so she can be a smart girl. She is sleeping but I am about to wake her up. Now, you don't need an alarm clock or to open the shades to wake her up. Here's a fun way to wake her up. [goes to Sarah's bed and pulls the bed sheets away] See? I pulled the bed sheets away. Now, the next step is that I am gonna lift her pajamas up. [lifts up Sarah's pajamas to reveal her stomach] Did you see that? That's her belly. And you see that circle on it? That's her bellybutton. And now that I showed you that, here's what I'm gonna do to her. [rubs Sarah's stomach who she giggles] See? She really loves belly rubs. Her cousin and babysitters love to rub her belly. She calls it “The Lucky Belly."

[She continues rubbing until Sarah wakes up, stretches, yawns]

Sarah: [giggles] Good morning, mommy! [lifts up her mother's pajamas and rubs her stomach]

Stacy: [giggles] Oh, Sarah. You love to rub my belly too!

...

[While tucking Sarah in...]

Stacy: Usually, moms kiss their children in the cheeks when going to bed. But for Sarah, I kiss her bellybutton. [kisses Sarah’s middle stomach who then giggles] See? When you kiss that bellybutton, she will giggle.

Sarah: Goodnight, mommy. [kisses her mother’s middle stomach, then goes to sleep]

Stacy: [giggles then whispers] Good night, Sarah. [to the viewers] She loves to kiss my bellybutton too. [forms a heart with her hands and places it on her middle stomach] That’s the lucky spot. [yawns as she puts her pajamas down] Well, I better go to bed too. And you better too. Cause [sings] there’s a smile on Sarah’s face, tomorrow she’s going to school. She’ll know it’s such a happy place, yes, she’s ready for school.

Swim Day
Miss Love: Tomorrow in gym class, we will be going to the swimming pool for our first Swim Day.

Kids: Swim Day?

Miss Love: That’s right. Once a month, we will be having swimming lessons with Mr. Jester. And then later in the year, it’s a free recreational swim. Please be sure to bring your bathing suit and a towel for each Swim Day. Boys, you will wear swimming trunks of any color you wish. [shows the class her mailliot] This is the appropriate bathing suit for girls. We know girls bathing suits come in one or two pieces. But for girls, please make sure you wear this kind of bathing suit: A one piece bathing suit also called a maillot. I do not want to see boys staring at girls’ bellies which are also called stomachs.

[Sarah raises her hand]

Miss Love: Yes, Sarah.

Sarah: You mean I have to wear a bathing suit that covers up my lucky belly?

Miss Love: Yes, Sarah. If you want to wear a two piece bathing suit, you can do that outside of school. For school, a one piece bathing suit. So thats what you have to bring for tomorrow. Boys, swimming trunks. Girls, one piece bathing suit. I’ll remind you the day before each Swim Day.

...

[While talking to her mother about swim day...]

Sarah: Miss Love said I have to wear a one piece bathing suit for swim day called a mal...mal.

Stacy: Mailliot?

Sarah: Yes. She doesn’t want to see boys staring at a girls’ belly. Even mine.

Stacy: Thats what my students at work do. They wear mailliots. But in recreational swim time, girls can wear one or two piece bathing suits. Come to my room.

...

[As Sarah (wearing a maillot) tries to press her mother’s middle stomach (also wearing her maillot)]

Stacy: When your wear a one piece bathing suit, your belly is covered up.

The Slumber Party
[While taking Sarah home from Lisa’s]

Bearbette: We are so angry at you, Sarah.

Frisky: We are disappointed to.

[At Sarah’s cave]

Bearbette: Go to bed. You’re being grounded.

[Sarah goes to bed]

Frisky: That bad.

Bearbette: You should have seen the place. Popcorn, juice, gum everywhere. Furniture damaged—it’s an absolute disgraced. Everything I said privalige and responsibility.

Frisky: Sarah does have to share the blame.

Bearbette: Here’s what Sarah is grounded: No belly rubs or bellybutton kisses for a week. No leaving the cave except for school.
