Claudia, Queen of the Seventh Grade - Part 1
Hello! I’m a long-time lurker and almost first-time snarker (I think I tried snarking the BSC postcard set many years ago but only did a fraction of them). I'm also incredibly shy, so I don't comment much, even though I read and love the entries that you all post. I've been wanting to snark a book for awhile now, and I finally have some free time,

So is my daughter. :). She also doesn't understand sarcasm...at all. She's very literal. If you haven't seen the new Power Rangers movie, SEE IT. Billy is autistic, and the way that he's portrayed is so wonderful that I cried right there in the theater.
By the way, my daughter really wants an answer to "Why did the chicken cross the road?" that isn't "to get to the other side."
And I know SMS has a dance every time someone shits, but they also have a Prom?
I don't think Ann knows that a prom is if middle-schoolers have the in her little world.
“Wait. You mean you can’t have a cross between a monkey and a horse because they’re not in the same family?” No, Claudia. They can't. Animals can't breed if they're different genuses either. Two species in the same genus can breed, but the offspring would be infertile (like a mule, which is a cross between a horse and a donkey, two species in the same genus). If two ( ... )

Claudia made the point. It's not like she's got an advantage over the other 7th graders.
Also what a shitty school, separating kids that age by grade. And how RICH to have all those separate dances.

Leopard-pattern blouse, sixties-style hip-huggers, a wide headband, and plain black flats with white ankle socks
Oi, that outfit is...not good. Flats with ankle socks? Leopard pattern blouse? She sounds like that lady that tried to sex up Edward Scissorhands.
Kristy is freaking out because she can do that.
Kristy I hate to break it to you but if you haven't gotten your boobers by 13 you probably never will. I know I certainly had them.

That's so weird! All through grade school and middle school, we were allowed to sit with whomever we wanted. I've seen other people in this comm mention having to sit with their classes at lunch and it's hard to wrap my mind around. And I never had home room in any school I went to.
in the 5th grade, because that was the year we started middle schoolHuh! That's different than my schools too! My grade school was k-6 ( ... )
