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.

Early the next morning, we met in the newly washed cafeteria. I told David to go fill the water balloons.
