Monday: "I expected nothing, and I'm still let down"

Is Malcolm in the Middle the perfect way to add a little magic to Mondays?

Mondays are historically the least appreciated day of the week. Coming right after the weekend, it's hard to fall back into the daily work routine and accept that there are, once more, 5 days until your next break. Watching your Sundays fly by feels like someone suddenly dumped a bucket of ice water on your head. Now, if you live in Malcolm's house, somebody probably did, and that was most likely Reese. Thankfully, there's always Francis to give you the best payback ideas or, if you're feeling particularly evil, Dewey can get in the case too.

Mondays can be extra hard if, on top of their usual chaos, you add a family of six to the mixture. School, work, chores, bills, homework, transport, lunches, and so on. It can feel impossible. However, if you have someone like Lois to steer the ship, there is no need to worry because you are in the best, most capable hands. On that note, make sure she doesn't find out if you happen to break any house rules, because you will be in big trouble. And I mean, big, immeasurable amount of trouble.

This hilarious Malcolm in the Middle meme list will cheer your Monday blues by reminding you that at least you don't have an evil grandmother to worry about. And, if somehow you do, there is no better person to make you feel heard as the genius middle child of the most imperfect family unit on TV.

  • To the middle children of the world, we see you. We know that you’re always around narrating the most unhinged situations your family ends up involved in, while nobody seems to notice the craziness you bring among yourselves. Mondays have nothing on you. If you're the middle child, there is no doubt that you’re resilient, smart, and very good under pressure. Definitely, growing up is realizing that being the middle child is actually sort of like a superpower.

    Different type of genius

    I have a brother who's a total genius. He'll know what to do. How many police cars are chasing you?
    via a

  • The way I see it, Malcolm is not the only genius in this family. Yes, he’s the only one scoring a 165 on his IQ test, but there is no doubt Reese can be brilliant too, when he wants to execute the perfect prank. Also, there is no other 7-year-old who can understand the tricks and manipulation needed to succeed in the political world, and there is no denying that Francis has a clear ability when it comes to misbehaving. Similarly, I would call Hal a diplomacy expert, as he always manages to get out of trouble and, of course, there’s Lois. No one could handle that family as she does; nothing gets past her. 

    This all comes to prove that genius is not always a numerical measurement. Sometimes, the smartest people can be found in the most unexpected scenarios. For example, only true geniuses start their week by going back to this unmatched TV universe, for there is nothing that cannot be solved with a much-needed dose of comedic perfection. And, as if we weren’t lucky enough to meet the Wilkersons in the first place, we now have a part 2. It could not get any better.
