Kimberly Romney

Kimberly M. Romney (Born September 17) is the youngest child of the Romney family. An 11-year-old schoolgirl, she is always portrayed with her hair straight.

A running gag through the series is that she has a huge craving for candy and other sweets. She shares her obsessions with her best friend. Kim often has sleepovers at Nicole's house to avoid Jason's pet cat, Douglas

Although persistent in her pursuit of a boyfriend, she has almost never dated in the strip. A running gag is nerd Gene Goldbourn is interested in her, though she openly despises him. Kim has tried learning to cook to attract boys, but the food she makes is often inedible or burnt. One time, Kim burned all of her cookies so badly that Michael used them as a substitute for charcoal briquettes after Clara "directed him towards a stash."
