In the elementary grades, there is always a competition between girls and boys. One gender always wants to outdo the other.
One day while the kids were working on a science experiment, I was sitting next to one group helping them along. One of the little girls was getting very frustrated with her male partners and was venting to me.
"Those boys," She'd say, "They'd slow and silly and smelly and just a big pain in the neck." (Edited slightly of course because I can't recall the exat rant she went on, but you get the idea.)
One of her partners, who was one she was venting about, was working nearby and overheard. He looked up slowly and in a low almost whisper said, "Hey. I'm right here."
Poor boys. At least he knew it was about him.
