She's determined to ... catch up with the Hos...
*snort*

...and she doesn't want to get caught.
*in hysterics*

(Also insert obligatory Stacey joke about how Claudia doesn't need to call Wyoming to find a Ho...)

On a more serious note, wouldn't interstate phone calls show up on the phone bill?

Also, and I promise I'll stop after this, but I was skimming the ebook and saw Claudia ask "Well, could you give me the numbers for the three Hos that you do have?"

I'm sorry if anyone here is called Ho.

Oldest kids always get the most pictures because everything is new to the parents. This is probably true, but it's mean anyway
Yeah, I can't help wondering if there's some truth to this comment, because I definitely remember my parents taking heaps of pictures of my youngest sister when she was a baby, and I'm pretty sure I remember there being a lot of my middle siblings too, even though they were born closer together than Claudia and Janine. I'm now wondering if Ann's parents took heaps of pictures of the older sister but squat of ( ... )

I guess the Wyoming calls would show up on Claud's bill and the club would pay for them, so mom and dad would never have to know.

I was waiting til the final installment of this snark before bringing up the traumatic effect that this book had on me ( ... )

. Emily in this chapter is almost where she should be instead of a year and a half behind.

Maybe this book was the inspiration for No Child Left Behind?

Seriously though, Emily seems perfectly normal. When I worked at a preschool, the three-four year olds were just starting to grasp the alphabet. Just. Around the same time I visited some family who had kids the exact same ages and they started reading their little Beginner books to me with very little help. Because that's how kids are - hell, that's how everyone is. We don't wake up knowing how to do something.

Does AMM really keep throwing around the word "real"? It's one thing for a thirteen year old to slip up - it's another for it to be thrown around like that.

Yeah, and throwing around 'real' like that caused me issues! I went into foster care when i was 15, and at one point in church I had made a comment about being happy to be with both my 'foster family and my real family' and it made my foster mom mad. But I just figured, similar to Claudia here, "birth family=real family. non-birth family= 'other'"

FYI, the type of diabetes Stacey is supposed to have ( type 1/ juvenile diabetes, not Ann making crazy things up) does show weight loss when it is out of control. Blood sugar is high but because you need enough insulin to get sugar into the cells, the body is starving and melts down fat to survive. Type 2 Diabetes gets out of control from weight gain. So AMM did get a diabetes detail right!

Or perhaps AMM couldn't stand to have a sympathetic character with a weight problem. I don't think she thinks they exist.--Oh, there's absolutely NO reason for any character to be fat in this series!
