"An' the Children of Israel beat up the Philistines, right?"
"Er--right."
"An' the Children of Israel built the Temple, right?"
"Again you're right."
"An' the Children of Israel fought the 'gyptians, an' the Children
of Israel fought the Romans, an' the Children of Israel wuz always
doin' somethin' important, right?"
"All that is right, too," agreed Ms. Johnson. "So what's your question?"
"What I wanna know is this," demanded Joey. "What wuz all the grown-ups
doin' all that time?"
