My older sister had a beeper, but I never had one. I didn't get my first cell phone until I was 17 and started driving.

@supprazz: Hell, my sis and I weren't allowed to pluck our eyebrows till we were fifteen. I don't think I started doing it till I was nineteen or so, but then I only started to care about my looks at that age. Up till then, I dressed like Kristy.

Oops, I meant get our eyebrows done. I don't think I could handle plucking my own eyebrows. But it is probably less painful than threading, which is agony for me because my eyes are so sensitive.

I have thick eye brows. So, my mom wax my eye brows. Don't hurt. Since, I'm lying down on bed. I just relax my body. She does them like every 3 or 4 months. Depends, if they need be thin down or not.

I take eyebrows very seriously. They frame your face. If nothing else, take care of your skin and shape your eyebrows properly.

Wow, this was the first BSC book I read. My friend had a bunch of them when I was about ten, so she let me borrow them and we both got hooked, although I was generally a fan of more complex books. But I liked it, and rereading it a few years later brought back memories. The stuff that stuck out on a first read, though, was: - Claudia getting told off when Carolyn went to Marilyn's piano lesson.
- Mallory teaching the twins Pig Latin. I learned it with them!
- Ice-cream sandwich. We don't have ice-cream sandwiches in NZ, so I literally imagined ice cream in white bread.
- The twins explaining that Mallory saying they looked cute in their matching outfits was what made them decide they wouldn't be nice to any babysitters.
- For some reason, the beginning when Nicky's calling Claire "kindergarten baby". Maybe it's because this was the first intro I got to the Pike family.
- Mallory and Jessi being last to the first meeting of the book. This is mainly because I remember Mimi's slight grammatical errors.
So yeah, weird things come up, but that's what I think of.

The creator even said she kept her unibrow when she was fifteen years old. She only has one in the show so that she looks mean.

This was also the first BSC book I ever read. For that reason it was always a favourite of mine when I was younger. I can remember this one really vividly, I could practically recite it even though I haven't read it in years. I learnt Pig-Latin from this book, but nobody I knew ever wanted to learn it with me I also remember that Kindergarten Baby song randomly. Also, I think it was really harsh of Mrs Arnold to tell Claudia off for getting the twins mixed up with that piano lesson. It wasn't like Mrs Arnold had bothered to tell any of the sitters how to tell them apart without their bracelets, so it was understandable that Claudia would get them mixed up like that.

Mrs. Arnold, should explain to Claudia or any other sitters, how to tell the twins apart. If, they ever took off the bracelet or switch the bracelet. If, I was baby-sitting identical twins. They were wearing the same outfit. I wouldn't tell them apart.
This is also my first BSC book, I read.

Sideshow- do you have graham crackers in NZ? You can make really good ice cream sandwiches at home with graham crackers. My favorite is to make them with orange sherbet and a sprinkling of coconut.

This is a classic-one of my favourites. Just finished reading it and I didn't think getting ears pierced was a big deal mainly because I got mine done when I was very young. So I wouldn't remember the pain I guess. My parents weren't strict. Anyway, I always had a fascination with twins which is why I liked this book so much (and yes I was a fan of Sweet Valley too)

I wasn't crazy about getting my ears pierced. It's not big of deal. If, you know how to take care of them. I thought about getting them pierced. But, when I found out, took lot of caring for the next 6 weeks, I was like forget it.
Since Mallory was being responsible of baby sitting her own siblings & other clients. Don't know why, Mr & Mrs. Pike, give her hard time, to have her ears pierced. Wasn't like she was 5, like Claire's age.
