In fact, having one in the club might be handy if she keeps finding treasure maps.Meet Turtle.
And just as Turtle realizes that not all kids re terrible, the dudes in the Diaper Gang figure out that not all girls are bad. She's one of the gang now because she's hunted treasure with them, played with them, and gotten to know the ropes of Key West under their guidance. They might not allow girls, but by the end, it seems they're willing to bend the rules a little when Pork Chop asks Turtle, "Uh, say, you want to be in the Diaper Gang?" (18.85). And they're not all bad.īesides, the Diaper Gang takes her in as one of their own. Ouch, right? But with the Diaper Gang, she gets to hang out with them and learn about herself without being designated "the help." This not only gives Turtle more room to just be herself, it also gives her a new perspective on kids in general. Before she moves to Key West, she's had a bad time of it with the kids who live in the houses her mom works for-one mean crowd even set her cat on fire. The Diaper Gang is also important because it exposes Turtle to kids her own age who are not her mom's employers. They don't admit it to anyone-even themselves-but they've got a good thing going with the little babies. It makes us think about how these boys act all tough and ready to fight, but in reality, they are big softies. Beans claims that there are no good babies, but they all seem to calm down when the Gang is around.
The guys might like to dish out an extra serving of pranks on the regular, but when it comes down to it, they do a pretty good job with the screaming infants.
They've even crafted a secret formula to cure diaper rash for all the little babies out there, which keeps them in serious demand in the neighborhood. One thing's for sure: They take their roles as babysitters very seriously. And never tell anyone the secret formula." (3.62) Turtle's cousins have a little club known as the Diaper Gang and, of course, there are no girls allowed (duh). The Diaper Gang: Beans, Buddy, Pork Chop, Kermit, Jelly, Ira
