8 Ch8-Dumb Questions

Chapter 8 Dumb Questions We all clapped and cheered again for Miss Suki. You're supposed to clap at the end of an assembly because you're so happy that it's over. That was wonderful, said Mrs. Roopy. Does anybody have any questions? You're a great arthur! some kid yelled.

Thank you! Miss Suki said. But I think you mean author. I like animals! another kid shouted. Those are not questions, Mrs. Roopy said. Remember, we talked about the difference between questions and stories. The kid who said I like animals raised his hand again. Miss Suki let him have another chance to ask a question. Did you know that I like animals? the kid asked. I didn't know that, said Miss Suki. Can I have your autograph? some other kid yelled. Actually, I just signed four hundred books in the library, Miss Suki said. I'm pretty tired.

All right! I said. She'll sign autographs! Will you sign my cast? some kid yelled. Will you sign my shirt? Will you sign my head? Mrs. Roopy jumped up and told us that Miss Suki only had time to answer questions, not sign autographs. So everyone started waving their hands in the air.

What's your favorite color? What's your favorite food? What's your favorite football team? What's your favorite Life Savers flavor? What's your favorite reality TV show? It looked like Miss Suki was getting tired of answering questions. But if we stopped asking questions, we'd have to go to math. So everyone kept asking questions. Will you write a book about us? Did you come here in a limousine? Can I go to the bathroom? When do we get our pictures taken? How much money do you make?

How old are you? Mrs. Roopy slapped herself on the forehead. How old do you think I am? asked Miss Suki, putting her hands on her hips. Eighty? someone guessed. Miss Suki looked mad. Mrs. Roopy jumped up to tell us there was no more time for questions. I'm forty! Miss Suki said as we were leaving the all-purpose room. She had on a mean face. I guess she didn't like our questions very much.
