Agnes and Tootie are both, in their own way, little psychopaths, but Agnes is far more socialized; she's learned to navigate. I suppose that Tootie will as well, eventually.
One reason that Agnes's "Oh, Rose, you're so stuck up" is such a delightfully shocking line is that it's something that Tootie will grow up to figure out how to say.

Agnes is the GOAT, but my sister is the Tootie to my Esther (even though I'd more properly be Rose.)
Must be a "two youngest kids in the fam" kind of thing. 🤷🏼♀️
(My brother J is the only one among my 3 younger sibs who can get away with similar exasperated retorts.)
