Most of the aunts on my dad's side in the 60s and 70s married really young, in their late teens/early twenties. It was much more common back then, and they then had kids in their early/mid twenties, too. However, they didn't have kids as young as they did in T9S. Jackie would've solidly been a teen mom, at probably seventeen (she turned 18 in Sept of '79). That wasn't the norm.

But then again, my uncles and the aunts/uncles on my mom's side married and had kids pretty late. It depended on how traditional/conservative the family was, tbh. Eric and Jackie's families definitely fall under that umbrella. The Pinciotti family sort of does, but only in Bob's case.

eric, donna and jackie were so obsessed with marriage it's like calm DOWN you're 18😭 i suppose people were actually like that in the 70s, what a nightmare, i cannot imagine giving up my early adulthood over marriage lol

Why Betsy's birth date, according to the wiki, makes no sense.

The second half of season 6 and first couple eps of season 7 certainly didn't happen within a couple of weeks. More like, a couple of months. Her birth date being around late February/early March makes more sense.

The evidence:

*Donna said she would stop going to her classes, at the end of season 6. This indicates she at least started the spring semester, which usually starts in mid-January. I headcanon that she was kind of bluffing, and just finished the semester, and then took a semester off to focus on DJing.

I actively headcanon the church the Formans and Pinciottis go to is nondenominational. It just makes everything easier.

I could be wrong, but did you mention in a post that the Formans were Catholic? I always assumed they were maybe protestants. Mainly because of Pastor Dave. And the we never saw any priest on the show.

Nope. The Pinciottis are Catholic, and Bob sent Donna to Catholic school in season 5. Eric and Jackie's families are likely Protestant. I assume this because Kitty's family is Swedish. And Jackie's surname is German, which could mean either, but eh. I can't see the Burkharts being Catholic.

Also, Fez's host parents are Christian fundamentalists. Probably Protestant (his host parents in that one episode gave me that vibe), but since Fez probably came from Latin America, he likely had Catholic influence of some degree.

And then I can't see the Kelsos or the Hydes caring enough to go to church, but the show mentioned Kelso's grandmother was religious.

Wednesday, August 1, 1979. The Kelso Khronicles.

AN: This is the necessary context for why Kelso randomly proposed to Jackie in season 8. And, upon further extrapolation, why Kelso stated he did it with Jackie at the motel (and to mess with Hyde, too). When Brooke rejects him, he tries to go back to Jackie, but to no avail. She's done.

*****

Chicago, Illinois

Yet another fiasco has occurred, and it's all his fault.

"Okay, I'm sorry." Kelso is notably sheepish, albeit with a devious grin. "But we're not dating or anything. You're my baby mama."

Brooke angrily shoves him, and he nearly stumbles into the couch. "Don't ever call me that. And don't ever bring that girl into my house again."

He brought a girl to Brooke's apartment, while he was babysitting Betsy. And they didn't even make out or anything. Well, not in front of Betsy, but still.

But Betsy was taking a nap, and the girl was hot. Like Farrah Fawcett. She was wearing next to nothing, a tight miniskirt and a tube top, and is way dumber than him. And that's a feat.

He'll never see her again, though, so he's fine with Brooke's terms and conditions. "Okay."

Brooke, in turn, relays the obvious. "Or a girl like her!"

"Fine!" He loudly scoffs, arms crossed, like a child, "I'll bring a brunette next time! Someone who looks like Jaclyn Smith."

She isn't just mad, she's seething. And maybe, a bit jealous. "Fine."

In turn, Kelso relays the insanely obvious. "You're totally jealous!"

Brooke is quick to deflect. "I'm not. You're a moron."

"A hot moron!"

She rolls her eyes. "Still, you're a moron."

"But I'm hot."

Brooke is notably reluctant. "Yes."

"And you look like Jaclyn Smith," Kelso adds, "But way hotter."

"Thanks." Her voice is notably flat, and unforgiving. "If it wasn't for Betsy, I'd never let you into my life. You know that, right?"

He shrugs, relaying the reality. "But Betsy's here, after that awesome Molly Hatchet concert."

"I can't believe you wanted to name her Molly. Or Bambi." Brooke returns to the situation at hand. "That girl looked like a Bambi."

"Her name is Cindy," Kelso amply defends, "And she's an actress, not a prostitute."

She refuses to back down. "I stand by my statement."

"I was only going to the Playboy mansion to look for a job," He explains, "So I can help out and stuff. But I got distracted."

"Go to the police station, and look for a job."

"But being a security guard at the Playboy mansion sounds way more fun," Kelso whines, like a petulant child, "And I got the job, by the way."

Now, Brooke is livid. She ushers him out of the apartment, leaving him in the hallway.

But not before insulting him. "You're a fool."

And with that, she slams the door.

*****

Point Place, Wisconsin. Two days later.

Whenever Brooke rejects him, he feels sad. And whenever he feels sad, he wants to go back to the 'ol ball and chain.

It's a flimsy 'ol ball and chain, and ring in hand, he's desperate.

"Jacqueline Burkhart, will you marry me?"
