Answer: Son: Dad!

W: Of course, Joey. What's your first question? M: Well,where were you living in 1940? W: In Minneapolis, Minnesota, where I was born and raised. M: Did you live with your family? W: Yes,with my parents and my younger brother. In 1943,I moved to Washington D. C. by myself. I got a job as a typist for a newspaper. M: What was D. C. like? W: It was an exciting time to be living there. I got my interest in politics from being in the nation's capital. When I moved to California,I went straight to Sacramento and got a job working for a state lawmaker. M: Were you in California when the war ended? W: No, I was still in D. C. I met my husband there, and we moved the following year, in 1946. M: How long did you work for the lawmaker? W: Well, I was a secretary for that politician for two years. Then I had my two girls and stayed home for a few years. But as soon as they were old enough, I ran for office myself. M: Really? Did you win? W: I did. I spent the next 20 years as a local politician. M: Wow. I've lived next door for years, and I didn't even know that! What was said before this conversation?

Answer: M: Thanks for agreeing to this interview,Mrs. Rogers. My teacher wants me to interview someone who lived during the 1940s.

W: We decided to start walking to school for the exercise. We want to get fit. Why would we want to eat a fattening breakfast sandwich? M: McDonald's has an egg muffin sandwich that has only 320 calories. What's wrong with that? I bet we walked off 320 calories already. After two more miles, we can probably walk off another 100 calories. W: I do need energy. I hardly ate dinner last night. My mom made leg of lamb, and it's definitely not my favorite. In fact, I think I'm going to become a vegetarian. M: Good for you! I gave up meat a long time ago. Now, almost all of my meals are salads. Funny thing is, when I make my food, I also make food for my rabbit. We mostly eat the same things now. W: My bird eats seeds and berries. We could probably share our meals, too!
