Jackie Burkhart, 1977.

Let it be stated that Jack and Pamela Burkhart needed not to have a house full of children, for they were blessed with the perfect child on their first try. Because hello, I'm Jackie, and I'm perfect.

All the same, though, for the record, sometimes I really wish I had brothers and sisters.

Like right now. All alone in my big, pretty room. All alone in my big, gorgeous house. All alone and I wish someone else was here to talk to. But Daddy's away on business, and Mom's on a shopping trip to the New York.

And Michael and I are over, so he's off sucking face with that dumb slut, Laurie.

And Donna is out sucking face with Eric at the movies.

And Fez and Steven are probably sucking face with stupid tramps they met "cruising" or at the Hub.

Another night, alone, for the perfect Jackie Burkhart.

But if I had a big brother, he could tell me that Michael was a loser who didn't deserve me and offer to beat him up. Or at least tell me to hold out for someone better, like Steven did when we went to buy him those boots.

Or a big sister could give me advice on how to get Steven to notice me, or encourage me to be okay on my own, like Donna has.

Or a little sister would tell me I was beautiful and beg to play with my hair. Just like Fez.

And a little brother would annoy me until I was laughing so hard I completely forgot I was sad, like the other day when Eric and me were fighting over what to watch on TV and I pushed him off the back of the couch, and he screamed like a little girl. That was great. We laughed for like an hour.

Instead I'm all alone. On a Saturday night. In my big, pretty, empty room, in this big, gorgeous, empty house. And there's nothing here to distract me.

But maybe Donna will call when her and Eric get back to the basement.

Or maybe Steven and Fez will stop by to get me on their way home from the Hub.

And, wait, I think I hear my phone ringing right now.

Yeah, sometimes, I really do wish I had brothers and sisters…but I do have friends, so I guess I won't be alone for too long after all.
