One day in class, she was arguing with her teacher, Mrs. Baldwin, about not going to PE, when her teacher said something very strange.
“Sara Rose,” Mrs. Baldwin said, “since you like to argue so much, you should be a lawyer.” This took Sara Rose by surprise. She didn’t know what a lawyer was. But if it meant she would get to argue and Mrs. Baldwin thought it was something Sara Rose was good at, it sounded like fun.
“Okay, Mrs. Baldwin, I am a lawyer.”
“Oh no, Sara Rose, kids can’t be lawyers; it’s something that you have to become when you grow up.”
“Well, why can’t I be a lawyer right now?”
“Sara Rose, I am not going to argue with you about that too. Now go to PE.”
For Sara Rose, growing up would take too long; she wanted to be a lawyer right away.
