Hello! This is a snark of Babysitter's Club Book #41, Mary Anne vs Logan, by Ann M. Martin. These books were a huge part of my childhood, but no book is ever perfect, especially when you have such a huge series like this in which a vast amount were...
MA goes to a BSC meeting and spots a brown stain on Claudia's bed. Claudia sniffs it. Not kidding. I'm thinking that Claudia actually shit the bed (or maybe it's an old period stain, but do these girls ever menstruate?) but Claudia assures us that it's only chocolate. Sure, Claud, we believe you. Honestly, I'm just glad that she didn't lick the unidentified stain because then I would've had to pull a Margo Pike if you know what I mean. Gross.

Claudia covers up the stain, instead of actually trying to clean it or anything, and MA admires Claud's outfit. "She was looking especially acute today. (Acute means cool. My friends and I make up words all the time, and only we know what they mean. Distant and dibble also mean cool)." Um, what? Since when does the BSC make up words like this? I think this is the first time I heard of that. Anyway, Kristy comes thundering in and demands to know where everyone is, which then prompts MA to explain how Kristy came up with the cult, or club. Which then leads to an in depth explanation of the jobs of the officers, the record book, the club notebook, and of course the fucking Kid-Kits. The Kid-Kits are admittedly a decent idea, but do we have to hear about them every goddamn time? The meeting comes to order, dues are collected, a couple of sitting jobs are arranged, yada yada. Then, Mr. P calls on the BSC for help with Mrs. P's surprise baby shower. He wants three sitters, two for helping out with the party and one for watching Jenny. Claudia, Stacey, and MA are the sitters assigned to the task. The meeting ends with Kristy telling everyone, "Good one, guys!" for some unknown reason.

^ Very out of character for dear old Kristy 'hard ass' Thomas, don't you think?
