Keep Out, Claudia! Part 2!

Hey, dolls! So, I'm up late playing around and decided to snark. This part isn't the funniest snark seeing as this is a Very Special Episode book but I tried. It wasn't easy not getting furious at this book but I maintained my temper. It's hard for me to read books about racists without getting that smashy smashy feeling. Well, let's go!

I always thought it was a shoe box

That's what I thought when I was young too, but they fit so much into them. Like, when Jessi puts together her office playset, she packs it into a seperate box that she then puts into the kid kit. And they always say they have more than one board game in them.It's been 30 years and I still don't understand the kid kits.

I'm just really trying to figure out how Jessi's race is in any way relevant here

I always thought that maybe Kristy had an inkling about what was going on and mentioned Jessi's race to see what their reaction would be. But I might be giving her too much credit. I asked my bestie about how Ann always makes a point to mention Jessi's race (she's black herself) and she said yeah, that's pretty racist because being black hasn't anything to do with her personality wise. Like you said, just mention the things she likes. If you buy the books, you see the club members on the cover and what they look like.

Either talk about WHY she's resigned, or have her react

It did talk some about why Jessi was resigned to it. I just gave the cliff notes version because the whole thing was really uncomfortable.
