You've got me thinking about how each episode of Gravity Falls illustrates some aspect of Wendy's personality.

I am exceptionally fond of the character of Wendy because I was once married to a Wendy. She died over six years ago from messy medical stuff.

I didn't know my Wendy as a teen, but there is nothing about Gravity Fall's Wendy that is incompatible with the older woman my Wendy became.

She was even *five* years older than me! Don't give up, Dipper. Don't EVER give up!

Three years difference means NOTHING when you've found your Wendy. No opposition is too great to overcome.

My "Robbie" was named "Scott", but I don't want to go into a bunch of "old man biz". Just believe me when I tell you how much I love Gravity Falls and root for Dipper just a little bit louder than most fans.

Unlike Dipper, I like my slightly weird real name, Guy, but am embarassed by an awful nick-name that I am glad to have lost in the years behind me.

Anyway, back to GF Wendy.

"Tourist Trapped" shows Wendy turning the golf cart over to Dipper with absolutely no explanation. Independence and freedom important traits to her, even if it is enjoyed by someone else. Limitations and rules are so not her thing.

If you hired Wendy as babysitter, you would definitely get back the same number of kids and fingers that you entrusted to her care, but, as she will patiently explain to any of the firefighters who have the time and breath to ask, she was most definitely NOT hired to be a *house* sitter.

Need to rewatch some episodes and think a bit before I write more.
