My parents didn't raise me to be religious. The closest we come to worship is the Trinity of Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. I think the Merryweather cheerleaders confuse me because I missed out on Sunday School. It has to be a miracle. There is no other explanation. How else could they sleep with the football team on Saturday night and be reincarnated as virginal goddesses on Monday? Laurie Halse Anderson
About This Quote

The word "miracle" has several meanings in the context of the Merryweather cheerleaders. It may refer to the fact that they are victims of a supernatural occurrence. It could also mean that they were not raised in an overly religious environment, and thus may not fully understand the significance of what is happening to them. It could also mean that these women are products of their environment; i.e., that they are all virgins by virtue of the fact that they are cheerleaders.
