Teacher (following theme in the textbook): "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Student: "I want to be a lawyer."
Teacher: "Why do you want to be a lawyer" (we had previously discussed many possible reasons for wanting to pursue various careers: money, satisfaction, helping people, etc.).
Student: "I want to control people" (this was not one of the reasons we had discussed).
I laughed. "Wow," I said. "I think you understand what it means to be a lawyer very well."
