7805ac+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.

As I was walking from breakfast to my cabin to get dressed the next morning, my best friend John came up to me

"Hey, Alex, are we gonna get even?",he asked.

"I'd love to, but

"But what?" interrupted John.

"I just don't want to get us in trouble. It will make matters worse."

"Oh, it won't be just you and I, but all the boys.",explained John.

"Um--Okay."

"Do you have any ideas?"

I sure did! I had a great idea that was so simple, so easy all the boys could easily do it. John and I split up to search for every boy there was. I then told them my plan.

"Okay guys it's real simple",I began to explain,"We need to get some fruits from the mess hall. Then you eat that fruit, apples are the best for this prank. Next we sneak into the girls' cabins and put the eaten fruits and fruit remains and put it in their sleeping bags and blankets. Finally, were even, at least for now."

So before lunch, each boy went out to get their fruit. Then, they ate their fruits and put them in the girls' beds. That night, we heard the girls screaming "Eew" in unison. It was a lovely show and the lights on the cabins never went out until midnight.

I laughed so hard, everybody in my cabin joined in.

It was a great night, we did not sleep at all, but it was worth it.
