Jelly School

A long explanation here, but. You need the back story about the title.

There is an episode of South Park (The Hobbit) where Wendy Testaburger gets upset with the other girls on the cheerleading squad at school. One of the girls isn't really pretty, the girls are making fun of her. Wendy encourages her to be more self assured, to ask her crush, Butters, out on a date. Butters rejects her, saying she's fat. He prefers beautiful women, like Kim Kardashian. 

Wendy has a huge problem with this, shows Butters that Kim Kardashian's photos are all photoshopped and that he isn't seeing the real her, he's seeing something fake. Butters is hurt. They end up at Mr. Mackey, school counselor's office, where he gives Wendy a hard time instead of chastising Butters for his attitude. Wendy is shocked.

Mr. Mackey tells Wendy she's just jelly (ie: jealous) of hot girls. Wendy says she is NOT and points out that the pictures of all the girls are photoshopped, and a lie, and false. 

Mackey starts saying "You are jelly. I'm going to send you to Jelly School" and he "calls" the principal of Jelly School to say he's got a girl here who is jelly and needs to go to jelly school. 

A lot more things happen in the episode (ie: Kim Kardashian is actually a Hobbit with hairy Hobbit feet and she smokes a pipe and ... well. Photoshop fixes all those things) but the Jelly School thing is one of our favorites. 

And we've been quoting Mr. Mackey a lot here in the house since Dahlia came. 

Toffee is Jelly. Dahlia is also jelly. They are jelly girls. Jelly of each other. Jell. All day long.

Toffee sees us petting Dahlia, or giving her love and attention and she comes and puts herself right in between us. Dahlia is also jelly if I'm sitting with Toffee on the couch and patting her, she'll come right up and get on top of Toffee to get some loving. 

"Oh, I see you are jelly," we'll say. "I'm calling the Jelly School. Hello, principal of the Jelly School? I have a dog here who is Jelly. That's right. I'm sending her right over."

Toffee is Peanut Butter, Dahlia is Black Currant Jelly. That's what they look like together. Jelly School Jelly School Jelly School. All day long. 

Side note: This is a great episode of South Park. I won't give away the ending, but the whole setup and presentation leads to a really poignant conclusion. Also, the ongoing making fun of Kanye West during the 2013 era is priceless. 

Anyway, go watch it if you can. And just think of us saying Jelly School and threatening to call the principal all day to these dogs.
