Gerald Dansforth, the guidance counselor at Lakeview Elementary School, had already been growing increasingly disgruntled with his position in life by the time Ripley Harrington appeared in his office for what would be his 22nd meeting of the day.
“And what would you like to be when you grow up, Ripley?”
“I want to be a dragon.”
It was more nonsense, and he didn’t appreciate giving career advice to 7-year-olds.
“Why don’t you pick something more practical, honey?”
“You mean like a dinosaur? I was thinking about it, but Mrs. Johnson said dinosaurs were extinct.”
Dansforth sighed. He hated children.
