Which “Baby-Sitters Club” member are you?

ScholasticRecently there was an great article floating around that brought up the question, “Which American Girl Are You?” I personally never even knew about American Girl until they opened up an enormous store nearby. They have a great cafe, FYI.

I can’t relate to American Girl, but I definitely will always connect another great piece of American girl culture, The Baby-Sitters Club book series. These books encouraged me to read more than I regularly would have as a kid. In case you don’t know, The Baby-Sitters Club is a series of children’s books written by Ann M. Martin from the late 80s to early 2000s, telling the awesome tales of middle school girls who were straight-up entrepreneurs. These girls hustled and had the whole town talking about them. Parents confidently left their kids with them, and that is a huge deal.

If you remember the series you remember relating to a particular girl more than others. I obviously was Kristy Thomas (PRESIDENT). Kristy was the bossiest and always wore sneakers; she was always just killing it with her great ideas. SHE INVENTED THE BABY-SITTERS CLUB, guys. She was a genius.

Now we can’t all be Kristies, meaning we can’t all be tomboys. Some of us related more to the other girls. There was:

Claudia Kishi: VP, dressed funky, HAD HER OWN PRIVATE PHONE LINE
