#56 - Keep Out, Claudia! - Chapters 1-3

Jul 18, 2008 13:04

Chapter 1.Like 92.6% of all Ann M.'s works, this book starts with a quote. I know you were expecting an ethnic slur, but we haven't gotten to that part yet. Claudia's sitting for the (non-racist) Rodowskys, where Shea is practicing some song on the piano. Jackie calls it "a doggie-o," which I assumed when I read this back in 1992 that it was some ( Read more... )

The only personality traits I remember Logan having were possessivness and jealousy. I only read a few books where he actually has scenes though so i could be wrong.

I vaguely remember this book.

I remember him being sort of sweet in book 10, when he first shows up, but I don't know if that's from actual scenes in the book or from my crushing on the Cam-Geary-lookalike model that they used to show him on the cover with a 19-year-old MaryAnne and a very feminine Jackie Rodowsky.

Jackie is totally crushing on Logan on the cover of that book.

I knew as an 8-year old that all catholics "had a lot of kids". Simply from comments my mom would say. She wasn't all-hating racist, but she definitely made comments.
That's one of my goals as a parents now is to not say those comments, no matter how innocent my mom still insisted they are, because I don't need to put those thoughts in my son's head.

I was raised Catholic and I have one sister. Everyone I knew in my whole huge church had small families too. I never heard the stereotypical "Catholics have lots of kids" until I was an adult and no longer a Catholic.

Weird.

... I've played music my whole life and I never realised what "a doggie-o" was.

Not Catholic (my dad is and he's 1 of 8), but I never made the connection until I was much older.

So who else is imagining the Pikes doing their rendition of Every Sperm is Sacred?

Oh, and I agree with the music thing. This and the marching band...none of them know shit about music except Shannon! Didn't they make up their own instruments for the marching band too? Good lord.

lol that is hilarious. I can see them singing as they're sold off to the work house.

They can perform it at the next BSC talent show! Claire gets the solo. "Let the heathen spill theirs, on the dusty ground..."

God, I LOVED this book as a kid. No idea why!

gangwaygirls July 21 2008, 14:19:13 UTC

I did too. I had questionable taste.
