"The Evening the Sitter Came"
What do you think about that title? I remember some awful nights when my parents went out and left my brothers and me with a sitter. (I usually ended up hiding under the bed.) It appears that Charles William is here to stay and Socks is not happy about it. Mrs. Bricker calls him "a big fat nuisance." How would you define the word "nuisance?" Then comes Mrs. Risley. Why does "Skeezix" enjoy his time with her? We have only three chapters left in Socks. Over the next week or so we'll finish the discussion posts for the book, but hopefully you are reading your ten books to qualify for the pizza party. Don't forget to write a brief summary of the books you read and keep track of the total number of pages. (For copies of the summer reading logs and more information, please visit our school's web page: http://www.mnps.org/Page8448.aspx )
Soon I'll be reading the last Harry Potter book! Will any of you be reading it, too? The book comes out on July 21, so between now and then I am going to finish the books I'm reading now (a mystery by Mary Higgins Clark and a nonfiction book about Charles Lindbergh) and then read books 5 and 6 of Harry Potter to get me ready for Deathly Hallows. I can't wait!

the tittle makes me feel like the time my nana came over to "babysit." me
1 nuisance means that socks is annoying. 2 socks thinks the sitter is better than the brickers because she brushes his skin .she said out loud now that charles william just started to exist nobody really cared for him but now mrs.risley does.plus i think he likes the name "skeezix."

1. The title reminds me of Mrs. Risley and when she came to babysit Charles and Socks.
2. I would define nuisance as someone who is a big problem.
3. Skeezix likes Mrs. Risley because she spends more time with him. For example, one time when Charles was crying, Mrs. Risley didn't pay him any attention. She just kept on playing with Socks.
QUESTION: I still don't understand why Mrs. Risley called socks Skeezix? Can anyone answer this question for me?

1.I think the title "The Evening the Sitter Came" is kind of scary.
2.Nuisance means annoying.
3.Mrs.Risley gives alot of attention to socks and even brushed his hair.
