“She had been bailing me out of trouble for al long as I could remember, though I always paid for it afterward. There was the time I broke my mother’s favorite Oriental vase when I was four and a half. Nina had worked magic with Super Glue. To this day, my mother still doesn’t realize that the fine line isn’t really part if the clinging-vine pattern painted on the porcelain” (235).
This book doesn’t take much insight to read because it does it for you, but it always makes you think of images in your head while you think. The book tends to go back to her childhood a lot because the people it deals with were her friends when she was a kid. I like this quote because it makes you think about that one person who always had your back and always covered for you when you were a kid. In the book it was her nanny and now maid, Nina. For me it was my older sister, Ashley. I mean we never really got along when we were kids, except on rare occasions, but she always took care of me and kept me out of trouble sometimes. The quote is used in the book because she is still covering for her, but that is like my sister, she still covers for me, but what can I say we don’t all make good decisions- it’s just easier for her now because we get along better and we are both older. The quote doesn’t really foreshadow anything or make any predictions, but it’s a good quote because it brings back old memories of you while reading it.

You and your sister are pretty much like my sister and I. When we were younger we didn't really get along at all unless one of us got in trouble then we knew we could go to each other. I remember one time we both go t in trouble for something and we were going to get a spanking. So we came up with the idea to out a bunch of underwear on so we wouldn't feel it. It was a good idea until our parents realized what we did and we got in even more trouble. It's kind of funny how we would get along better when our parents were mad at us because we knew that we were in the same boat and could relate and that we were always there for each other.
