Question 3

Jodie looked back at her teacher. Mr. Swales was talking about what people do all day.
He also wanted to find out what his students wanted to be when they grew up. He called
on Billy Mitzer first.
"My daddy works in a bank," Billy Mitzer said. "I guess I want to work in a bank too.
There's lots of money in the bank."
"My parents have a grocery store," Emmy DiSalvo said. "Papa's behind the counter
and Mama keeps the cash register. But I want to be an airline pilot."
Jodie liked it when Mr. Swales asked them questions like this. He was about to call on
Jodie when the girls in the back row burst out laughing.
Shirley Danes yelled, "Jodie's Daddy is a garbageman! Pee-yoo!"
