How we cite our quotes: (Chapter. Paragraph)
Quote #7
Are you still there God? See how nice my bra looks now! That's all I need—just a little help. I'll really be good around the house God. I'll clear the table every night for a month at least! Please God… (13.54)
So two things we weren't aware God was personally interested in: Margaret's bra size and whether or not she does her chores.
Quote #8
"No fair!" Norman called out. "You've got to really kiss him."
"Okay, okay," Janie said. She tried again. She made it this time, but far away from his mouth.
I felt a lot safer knowing it would all be cheek kissing. (14.48-50)
Ah, kissing games. These are a right of passage in pretty much every kid's life.
Quote #9
Are you there God? It's me, Margaret. Gretchen, my friend, got her period. I'm so jealous God. I hate myself for being so jealous, but I am. I wish you'd help me just a little. Nancy's sure she's going to get it soon, too. If I'm last I don't know what I'll do. Oh please God. I just want to be normal. (16.77)
Pro tip: Normal covers a really wide range of ages, so don't worry too much if your friends have started their periods and yours still hasn't come.
