I always pictured her as Hispanic. Probably because the only Desi I ever heard of was Cuban. And a man. Seriously, Lurlene, DESI? <BR/><BR/>I'm glad I never caught on to the blatant racism in the book as a kid, because it was one I really liked. But at the same time, I wouldn't have been bothered by the white girl helping these kids thing, because *I* was a white girl (still am, actually) and it sounded like something I'd have liked to get involved in (I did on a couple of occasions, actually). Also probably because I didn't really picture all of the babies as nonwhite - I always pictured Anthony and Heather as white for whatever reason. <BR/><BR/>Even as a kid, though, I thought Desi was a superbitch for being so judgemental about Alicia's mother, though. I love how no one can do right in Lurlene's world except for the married stay-at-home mothers. Luckily I never really caught on to that either (I always just figured we needed an EVIL PARENT in these books and that was the extent of the thought I gave it.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4947655512419533059.post-72524759059164756742008-03-03T15:31:00.000-08:002008-03-03T15:31:00.000-08:00I, too, was like, "Desi?

Something about mothers who irrationally hate their children makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.snappleaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453361352271252860noreply@blogger.com
