Does anyone else find all the adults in ASOUE really stupid?

They seem to be compleatly oblivious to everything that happens to the Baudelaires, especially things like murder and attempted murder. Maybe Snicket/Handler is trying to portray life through a childs prespective, where everything they say is disregarded. :-XHmmmmmmmm....................makes you wonder................................ ::)

Hal was probably the most able adult the orphans have met.

But I rather like it when my favorites get killed for some reason...

He was as nice as Uncle Monty, but unlike Monty he listened to the Baudelaires and tried to help them. And the Quagmires BETTER not get killed!

I'm with you on that,unless it's Quigley...

Well, anyway, I try to explain to my friend that adults don't really care what we think. She just turned 11 in Sept. so I'm her elder.

But then again I'm always bored.
