"What do you want to eat for breakfast, Billy?" And of course, the kid always says he wants a hamburger, even though they can't be served for another two hours.

Respect for authority
When an Ottawa County high school sophomore won an American Cancer Society fundraising contest recently, it cost him an 80-day suspension from school. The 15-year-old son of Don and Tina Molnar of Lakeside, an honor roll student, bought a 50-cent raffle ticket at his school's Relay for Life program.
