You had me rolling on the floor with this one, Carol:
I raised an eyebrow. He could see my very not girlie navy blue comforter set. Did he really think I was going to be hanging lace curtains? "You might want to mention that to Lana before you get hitched, Farmboy." I'd peaked in their room and it looked like a cotton candy machine had thrown up all over the place. That I'd picked the lock wasn't the point. I needed the practice.
So, so, so Lois! And what a description of Lana's room! Totally hilarious!!!
This part of the conversation was also a work of art:
"So, for the sake of discussion, Lana and I wanted some privacy for some reason..."
For some reason? Surely they taught the birds and the bees on the farm.
"...I'd write 'Call Mom' on the white boards on the outside of both doors."
"That won't work."
"Why not?"
I glared at him. "My mom's dead, Rainman."
His face changed and he actually looked a bit sympathetic. "Right. Sorry. How about 'Call Dad'?"
So beautifully LnC.
I shrugged. "That works. Real phone messages go on the inside white board and all phone messages get written down and delivered. No exceptions."
He raised a brow. "You think I won't deliver your messages?"
"I think you might be a little too involved in determining what kind of lip gloss Ellie Mae is wearing to remember to write it down."
Wow, what a way for Lois to show her dislike of Lana and her disapproval of Clark's kissing her! I'm glad Clark actually called her on it. The truth is that she is jealous, even if she doesn't admit it to herself.
I was glad that Clark told his parents about the fact that his roommate was a girl. I think they really took it well. This interested me a lot:
"What does Lana think?" Mom finally asked.
I shrugged. "She's not happy about it, but she doesn't have anything to worry about. Lois seems nice, but my heart belongs to Lana, you guys know that."
Mom sighed. "I still worry about you two being so serious so young."
Well, wow! Clark's parents, or at least his mother, doesn't think that Lana is necessarily the right one for Clark! Good!
But Clark is in love with her, or he thinks that he is:
I watched as Lana sat on the floor with the four and five-year-olds. She was totally in her element. The twelve or so children were completely captivated with her and the story she was reading. It was the second story of the morning and I was sure it wasn't going to be the last.
I was leaning against one of the tables, legs stretched out in front of me crossed at the ankles.
I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She was beautiful and, someday, she was going to be a great mother to our kids and a great preschool teacher.
Hmmmm. The boy is infatuated. He sure likes Lana's looks. Well, from now on I'll think of her as the girl whose room looks as if a cotton candy machine had thrown up all over it.

Imagine sharing your life and your home with someone who has this contraption for a pet, which keeps throwing up everywhere!!!
In all fairness, Lana is good with children, and not everybody is, to be sure.
Lois made this promise to Joe:
"Will you at least be my back up?" he asked me, running one hand over my arm.
"You mean if we're both forty and not married, we hook up?"
"I was thinking more like thirty-five if we want kids."
I thought about that for a minute. There were worse things. "Okay. If neither of us is married at thirty-five, we'll get hitched."
Hmmm. So you've given us a deadline, Carol. Lois and Clark had
better be married before Lois is thirty-five.
And Clark is telling Lana about their future in a way I don't approve of:
She rested her head against my shoulder. "What do you think a show about our lives would be like?"
...
"Now? Or someday?"
"Five years from now."
...
I thought about it for a minute. "Well, then, I guess we'd be married."
"In five years? We better be." She kissed me lightly.
Noooo!!!! Lois and Clark have less time than I thought to get married!
And there have been a few references to how Clark doesn't like to wear tights. Considering the No-one-will-look-at-your-face thing, the idea of Clark being a tights-challenged person is so funny!
But for all of his spandex phobia he is nevertheless thinking about the possibility of assuming a superhero identity. What will Lana say if he is going to get serious about that? (At least we know that Lana probably knows about Clark's superpowers.)
I'm looking forward to more of this!

... but I hope Lois and Clark end up together or atleast become best friends if not something more.
. You can blame the whole TV thing on Queenie. Tis her fault. Completely.
