The Boys Get Even
Have you ever noticed that girls can get away with anything? It seems that if boys do just one little thing, wham! they’re in trouble. But girls can get away with murder.

Last summer at camp, for example, there was a big food fight in the dining hall. Okay, maybe the boys started it, but the girls were throwing chocolate pudding and dinner rolls just like everybody else. But guess who got in trouble?

When we were dragged into the camp office, the camp director, Ms. Jenkins, demanded an explanation. We were all too scared to even talk!

Finally, our counselor Phil said, "I guess boys will be boys."

Ms. Jenkins didn't even crack a smile, instead she replied slowly, "Boys should be gentlemen."

That night she made us sweep and mop the whole dining hall. We even had to wash the windows. Those things hadn't been washed in like a hundred years!

As we worked and sweated until midnight, we vowed to get revenge on the girls for sticking us with all the punishment. We //would// get even.

Our chance came that very next day.

We all met up by the lake after lunch. Jake said that we should of put a salamander in their bottles of water, but we agreed not to. Then, it hit me! When the girls would go to brush their teeth, there would be mud in their tooth paste. "How would we turn it a different color?" I asked.

"We can get food coloring,"Joey suggested.

The next morning, the girls went to breakfast and the boys were on a mission. Joey got the mud, Dave got the food coloring, and I got the all the girls toothpastes. Dave carefully put green food coloring in the mud and Joey mixed it. I put the mud inside all of the toothpaste bottles and after put them all back.

"I here someone coming. Let's get out of here." whispered Dave.

We made it to breakfast just in time and luckily no one noticed. The food was awesome. I'm glad we didn't miss it.
