I personally think eight cookies isn’t enough, but I eat four cookies at a time. Word. I double up regular-sized recipes because if I have to make my own cookies (which I do because I now live in a country where cookies are very much underappreciated) I'm going to make sure I don't have to make another batch in a couple of days. A measly eight cookies isn't worth the effort.
her regular teacher is recovering from an operation. I wonder what operation he had. In my headcanon he's one of those people who end up in the emergency room with something embarrassing lodged up their ass. Because I can.
Claudia believes that you are what you wear. Coincidentally, I'm currently wearing a T-shirt with a butterfly on it.
Does Ann think people become best friends because they look alike? By that logic, I should be BFFs with Honey Boo Boo because she has curly blonde hair too.
Claudia talks about Dawn and says you’d know her for a Californian girl the minute you saw her because she’s a gorgeous blonde. Did she just call Stacey ugly?
If I'm what I wear, that would make me the batman. I'm cool with this development.
As far as grinning leaving a room? I remember my graduating classmates and I leaving our master's exam laughing hysterically and I think there was some hugging and bouncing around. We were all kind of super caffeinated and sleep deprived so... Yeah. Not really being a jerk there, Claud honey. Half this stuff where they worry about being judged makes me wonder what Ann/Ghosties think about people sometimes, I swear.
I wonder if there are any Californians reading this that aren’t blondes and felt insecure about that portrayal.
This! A million times this. As a Californian Mexican I always felt like I was somehow wrong for not fitting the stereotype. It would make me feel real bad when they would tout Dawn as a 'real California girl'. Thank a lot, Ann! You snotty know-nothing-know-it-all!
Claudia feels confident that she did well on the test and walks out of class grinning. She thinks it makes her look like a jerk. I always thought Claudia thought she looked like a jerk because she was smiling after a math test, something she wouldn't normally do because math is not enjoyable for her. But I usually also take jerk in this instance to mean goof or nerd or geek or similar. I never understood the use of jerk here probably mostly because I think of jerks as mean people. (Like when the BSC were all calling each other (alleged) jerks in Stacey's MistakeI always wondered why Gertrude would make eight cookies. (And why she wouldn't go by Trudy. Maybe Gertrude is an older lady, then I could see her going by Gertrude. Now I'm just thinking of Rachel's "Oh, I'm sorry, are we having an 89-year-old?" comment to Ross's suggestion that they name their baby Ruth.) I could never be bothered to make just eight. Maybe if it were the end of a batch and you only had enough dough for eight left but to start out with the intention of making

Read the snark a few days ago but am only just now commenting, but that "you are what you wear" comment made me happy because: I was dressed as a queen of the Nile that day :D And today I'm wearing a galaxy and nebula print suit. I'M A NEBULA. SWEET.
Ugh, Mr. Zorzi. I do not like him. Claudia worked damn hard for that A (and this is one of the books where Ann/the Ghostwriters actually allowed Claud to GET the occassional A, too!). Claudia has a record of bad GRADES, but she does not have a record of cheating or bad BEHAVIOR in the classroom, so there is no reason to assume Claudia cheated. In a real world school, there could be lawsuits for that. You know, outside of the Let The 13-year-olds Do Everything Themselves World. Any teacher would congratulate a usually-below-average student on getting a rare A, not go "OMG U CHEETD U HORRIBLE CHEETR!!!" >_>
