The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
Upon entering their new school in Phoenix, the teachers place all three of the Walls children in gifted reading groups. When the children tell their parents about their special placements, Dad replies, "'Course you're special. Haven't I always told you that?'"
Brian replies, "'If we're so special...why don't you...'"
How do you think Brian was going to complete this remark? Why?
