Ugh! What kind of class are you taking that encourages such stereotyping?

Check your book for whatever it's author thinks is the "right" answer.

It is very frustaring Ms.Sue, I have read this book over and over, but based on the fact that I have a boy and a girl at home, this seems to be the right answer
