In my quick tip about Lily, I remarked that I hope they didn't switch her out between seasons with an older girl showing a growth spurt of a few years so that we have another child on an ABC show … more
We've all seen dumb kids on TV before, little ones like DJ from Roseanne, Bart on the Simpsons and even older ones like Kelly from Married With Children or Waldo from Family Matters, but could any … more
