Kristy and the Snobs (The Baby-Sitters Club, #11) QUOTES

1 " Guess what most families on our street have: (a) a swimming pool (b) tennis courts (c) a cook named Agnes (d) all of the above. The answer is (d) all of the above. "

― Ann M. Martin , Kristy and the Snobs (The Baby-Sitters Club, #11)

2 " Kristy, can’t you wear something different once in a while?” Sam asked me, eyeing my jeans and sweater.

“Why do you care what I wear?” I replied, but I knew perfectly well why he cared.

He cared because he was 15 and girls were practically the only thing on his mind. He thought he was the girl expert of the world, and he was disappointed in my lack of fashion sense. Plus, he was interested in this très sophisticated girl down the street (one of the private-school girls) and he wanted everything about our family to be up to Monique’s standards, which were sky-high. "

3 " We all love Louie, but David Michael has especially loved him, even as a baby, and he’s always taken care of him. He’s never complained about messy dog food cans or smelly flea collars.

It was David Michael who discovered a rock song called “Brother Louie.” (That’s the one that goes “Louie, Louie, Louie, Lou-ee.”) Whenever he plays it, the real Louie howls joyfully each time he hears his name. "

4 " I like Laurie for a girl, but I can’t think of any good boys’ names.”

“I want to name it Beth,” spoke up Gabbie.

“Laurie and Beth are both very pretty names,” said Mary Anne. She glanced at Jamie. He was scowling.

“You know what I wanted to name my baby? I wanted to name her Stupid-head.”

“Stupid-head!” cried Gabbie. She looked crushed. “Nah-nah and a boo-boo. That is so, so mean.”

“It is not,” said Jamie. “I’m going home.”

Gabbie marched out of the room. “I’m going to take a nap,” she called crossly to Mary Anne. "

5 " This is beautiful,” said Gabbie, looking at the tea party and trying to sound grown-up.

“It is too, too diveen,” added Myriah.

Mary Anne giggled. She and the girls drank their tiny cups of punch and ate their cookies. Then they drank the bears’ and the dolls’ punch and ate some of their cookies, too.

“Did you like the party?” Mary Anne asked Gabbie when it was over.

Gabbie nodded. “I loved it. It was too, too diveen. "

6 " It was a gloomy day, gloomy outside and gloomy inside. Nobody felt like having a meeting of the Baby-sitters Club. Dawn and I were depressed, Claudia was mad because she’d flunked a spelling test, Mary Anne was upset because her kitten, Tigger, had worms and Stacey was upset because she had a doctor’s appointment coming up and she hates doctor’s appointments. "

7 " Shannon narrowed her eyes. “You horned in on my baby-sitting territory. My sister and I used to be the only sitters around here.”

She opened the box and began to ease a gooey slice away from the rest of the pie. “How’d you like pizza in your face?”

“No! Don’t throw it!” shrieked Amanda. “Mommy and Daddy just had the hall painted. And the fish fountain cost two thousand dollars!”

Shannon hesitated long enough for me to say, “You throw that at me and I’ll throw it back at Astrid. You’ll have a pepperoni mountain dog.”

Shannon dropped the slice back into the box. She pressed her lips together. Was she crying? No, a giggle escaped. Then Tiffany stifled a laugh. Then Amanda and Max and I let out giggles of relief.

“A pepperoni mountain dog!” exclaimed Shannon. We all laughed more loudly. "

8 " Dr. Smith suggested that we have Louie put down tomorrow,” he said gently.

I expected my brothers to get angry, to yell that nobody would ever do that to Louie, but they all began to cry instead. David Michael cried noisily. Sam and Charlie tried to hide the fact that they were crying, but I know they were.

Then a lump that had been filling up my throat all afternoon, dissolved, and I began to cry, too, which made Andrew and Karen burst into tears. It didn’t matter. Even Watson was crying. "

9 " How can we do this to him? I asked myself. We are going to kill him. We were saying, “Okay, Louie, you must die now,” and not giving him any choice about it. We were going to send him into a room and let someone give him a shot so that he would never wake up.

But then I remembered what he had looked like the night before, and how much he was hurting, and knew we were doing the right thing. "
