How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
As soon as the nurse saw Fudge she said, "How's my favorite patient?" She gave him a hug and and a little book to read. To me she said, "Good morning, Peter."
It burns me up the way people treat Fudge. He's not so special. He's just little, that's all. (6.14-15)
Peter doesn't think this is fair at all, because he's the one who actually works at making a good impression. Just like his mom, though, the nurse probably realizes that Fudge needs all that special attention just so he won't be impossible to deal with.
Quote #8
"No, I'm sorry, Fudge," Dr. Brown said, "it's still not as good as Peter."
So Fudge opened his mouth really wide. "Count teeth." he said. "Count Fudgie's teeth." (6.36-37)
Dr. Brown's a smart guy. He knows exactly how get Fudge to do what he wants: make him jealous of Peter.
Quote #9
Fudge sat up. "Like Pee-tah's." he said.
I smiled. I guess the kid really looks up to me. He even wants to wear the same kind of shoes. But everybody knows you can't buy loafers for such a little guy. (6.93-94)
It's good for Peter to see how Fudge can be jealous of him, too. Most little boys want to be just like their big brother. And btw, toddler fashion choices have come a long way since 1972.
