The Boys Get Backfired
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.

The girls told us that a prank would be coming tomorrow tonight.

We ate dinner at the dining hall that night. After everybody left,we decided to ask the lunch ladies about our well-crafted plan.

"Loretta!" I screamed as I ran to her cooking area."I have a plan to prank the girls.Do you have a recipe for silly string and a spray bottle we can have?"

"Yes. I do, but you boys are going to have to come during your second activity tomorrow. That is when I'll be free.

"Okay." We will be here.

... The next afternoon...

"Yo! Jimmy! I got the silly string! It's really sticky and it will stain their clothes." Simon screamed.

Jimmy grabbed the silly string and ran back to the cabin.He put it on the shelf in the main room of the cabin where the girls could be if they wanted.

"Britt! I have the silly string.The boys left it in their main room.It was super easy to grab." Alexa whispered.

"Great job Alexa!" Britt excitedly yelled. "I'll get 'em tonight."
