Boys: A Word of Universal Confusion

A short encounter between two females and the subject of the opposite sex.

Imagine the scene is a full cafeteria, teeming with high schoolers…

Girl 1 (intriguing drama-filled tone): So… boys.

Girl 2 (skeptical tone): *raises eyebrow* Boys?

Girl 1 (reminder of past betrayals and confusion tone): *nods head* *sighs*… boys… *eye rolls*

Girl 2 (slowly getting more positive tone): BUT BOYS!

Girl 1 (matching growing enthusiasm): BOYS!

Girl 2: CHICOS!

Girl 1: GARCONS!

Girl 2 (slightly less enthusiastic, cautionary tone): Boys…?

Girl 1 (still enthusiastic tone): BOYS!

Girl 2 (regretting, but truthful tone): Boys..

Girl 1 (taken aback, then realizing truth tone): Right… boys…

Both girls: *sigh*

Girl 2: But… Men?

Girl 1: *nods* MEN!
