>>>Why did Opie say he wanted to play baseball to get fired from his
grocery-delivery job? Why not just say he needed more time for homework and
his Pa told him to quit?<<<
 
I think about that every time I see that episode.  But why wasn't he just 
honest with Mr. Doakes?  He could just say, "I really appreciate you giving me 
the job, but I found out that Billy needs the job to help provide for his 
family, so I'd like to bow out and give the job to him."  I would think Mr. 
Doakes would admire Opie for that.
