When I first watched this I believed she was being honest in her confusion.
But now older and wiser, I am leaning the other way, that actually she was having one on the viewer, showing how easily men can fall into the "dumb blonde" stereotype trap.
I like that you give her the benefit of the doubt, but I remember watching that episode and it didn't seem staged or put-on at all. If it was, that confused expression she had was pure genius and Jessica Simspon is surely the finest actress that ever lived.
I think she probably realized how dumb it was not long after it escaped her mouth. We all make mistakes. I don't hate her for it.
T THE TIME I THOUGHT HE WAS BEING HALF SERIOUS HALF GOOFY...I JUST BOUGHT THE DVD BOXSETS,COMPLETE SERIES...ILL BE WATCHING THEM SOON...ILL HAVE TO WATCH CLOSELY.🙂
