MEENA, LOOK!
OH MY GOD! CALL THE AMBULANCE! THAT'S THE WORST CASE OF FINGER NAIL FUNGUS I'VE EVER SEEN!
IT'S NOT FUNGUS! IT'S POLISH, SEE? IT'S ALL SPARKLY!
OH, PHEN! WE WON'T HAVE TO AMPU TATE! THAT'S REALLY COOL, RAF.
EMILY BROUGHT IT TO SCHOOL. I HAVE IT ON MY TOES TOO.
HI, BABE. DID YOU SEE OUR LITTLE FASHION PLÁTE P
YES, I DID. RAFFI, DID YOU TELL MEEMA WHAT HAPPENED?
No.
OH. JOY.
WELL, UM, TAYLOR SAID ONLY GIRLS WEAR NAIL POLISH AND So I, SO I SAID BUT I'MA BOY AND I'M WEARING NAIL POLISH, AND SO YOU'RE WRONG!
RAFFI, I'M PROUP OF YOU! THAT WAS A VERY SMART THING
TO SAY!
1999 BY ALISON BECADEL
AND THEN I KICKED HIM.
MEANWHILE... AMAZING. YOU'D THINK THAT IN THE STAGGERING AMOUNT OF NEWS ANALYSIS THIS ISSUE HAS GENERATED, SOMEONE WOULD HAVE AT LEAST MENTIONED THE INTERESTING LITTLE COINCIDENCE THAT ALL THESE PISTOL-PACKIN' PUBESCENTS ARE BOYS
WHITE BOYS. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF IT WAS GIRLS, OR AFRICAN-AMERICAN KIDS WIPING OUT THEIR HOMEROOMS WITH TEC-9s? ALL THESE LAMENTS ABOUT OUR GENERIC "CHILDREN" WOULD GET AWFU SPECIFIC AWFUL QUICK
WELL, MAYBE IT'S JUST THAT EVERYONE TAKES FOR GRANTED THAT BOYS ARE MORE PRONE TO VIOLENCE.
DUH! MALE VIOLENCE IS NASIBLE. NO ONE WANTS TO LOOK AT IT AS A PROBLEM. THEY'D RATHER BLAME ANYTHING ELSE.
I MEAN, I'M SURE ALL THAT AGGRESSION CAME IN HANDY BACK IN THE PLEISTOCENE, BUT COME ON! LET'S EVOLVE A LITTLE, BOYS!
UH...
RIGHT.
MS. KISSLER THINKS PERHAPS HE'S NOT GETTING ENOUGH ROUGHHOUSING AT HOME. YOU KNOW, WHAT WITH HAVING TWO MOTHERS AND ALL.
