Suzanne CollinsLook, if you wanted to be babied you should have asked Peeta.
About This Quote
In the book, The Hunger Games, Katniss says to Peeta at the end of the Second Quarter Quell that she wanted to be babied. He should have known that she meant being babied in a loving way. Instead, he took it and ran and didn’t even say goodbye. He took her not wanting to be babied and made it sound like she wanted to be babied in a mocking way. This quote is about how we take things we don’t want and make them sound like we mean them in a different way than we do.
