"Janitor Boy is about a boy whose father is a janitor at his school. The boy doesn't think that his father's job is embarrassing until some boys at school make fun of him after they witness his father cleaning up someone's vomit. He tries to get back at his father secretly for being a janitor. He puts gum under desks until he gets caught one day by his music teacher.
