Amazingly Embarrassing Parents
 So Awkward / int_1434e55c
comment
Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Lily certainly feels this way about her mother. Given her mother has a habit of knitting her jumpers with Lily's own face on them, she may have a point. Everyone except Jas thinks of her father as one, due to him being The Klutz. Jas (who is also The Klutz) has never noticed anything odd or embarrassing about his behavior.

The Klutz: Jas is bright, upbeat and endlessly optimistic. She is also incredibly clumsy, to the point where she worries that she might be too clumsy to be a bridesmaid and worries about accidentally demolishing the wedding. Her father Mr. Salford is, if anything, even worse, to the point that the headmistress Mrs Griggs keeps desperately moving objects out his way whenever he visits her office.

Invented Individual: In "Everybody Loves Clementine", Lily invents a student called Clementine Mustache in an attempt to avoid getting into trouble with the Scary Librarian. After inserting the fictitious student into the school records, the lie spirals out of control (mostly due to Jas' efforts) and Clementine wins the talent show and an essay competition. The girls have to invent an unlikely death for Clementine to be rid of her.

Embarrassing Cover Up: In "Bug Brooch", Lily is delighted when Rob buys her a present for the first time - only it's a horrible bug-shaped brooch! Jas offers to break it accidentally-on-purpose so Lily won't have to wear it, but Rob catches Jas trying to smash it. Not wanting to drop Lily in it, Jas tells Rob she stole the brooch because she's in love with Rob herself and is so jealous of Lily.

Unfortunately, this is not as easy as it seems, with Lily—who is usually just standing on the sidelines—usually copping the blame.
