Secrets of Foxworth
“She bases this on the fact that our house isn’t any larger or much smaller than any other house on our street and that our father drives a modest Chevy. I don’t know why it’s so important for her to think of us as ordinary. I will never think of myself that way.
When I told her that today, she looked at me strangely. She even seemed a little angry about it. I think she believes being ordinary makes her safe or something. I know she thinks all the kids from wealthy families are snobs, especially... Lucille Tompkins, whose father owns four jewelry stores. One of her girlfriends told her what the word “snob” means, and she is worried that someone might call her that. I have the feeling someone told her I was a snob and she didn’t know what to say or how to defend me.
