I question his sanity too!

I loved the BSC. I wanted to be a baby-sitter so badly when I was younger. Now I look at my younger cousin trying to "baby-sit" all the little kids all the time and I just want to cry because I know I did that too. Then I grew up and realized what brats little kids were. My favorite was Dawn because I thought she was so cool being from Cali and all, but so down to earth at the same time. I think I was a hippie when I was younger or something. I also liked the Baby-Sitter's Little Sister books and the Karen Two-Two chapter always drove me nuts! Honestly, now I look back and I think those books were pretty juvenile... "My name is Karen Two-Two because I have two of everything?" Come on, kid, you're older than 3, act like it.

SVH and SVT were also a favorite of mine. I think those 4 series of books took up most of my reading. Did anyone do those Scholastic book clubs in elementary school? My teacher refused to do it for us in 4th grade and I got so upset that I got my parents to call the school and ask if I could order it through one of the other 4th grade classes. That would have meant that I would have missed out on the newest BSC book! But Liz was my favorite, because she liked writing and was a nerd (let's face it). I never got to the SVU book where she got fat... that's hysterical! I did however, like that she and Todd broke up because he wanted a piece of ass and she wouldn't give it up. Seriously, after dating for all of junior high and high school, you're going to have at least TALKED about it... it shouldn't be a surprise!

So funny.
