You know what's cool about my life?

I was talking to Yamaraashi-chan, and the subject came around to boys. She's in that stage where she and her friends are figuring out what the label "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" meant. I asked her why she thought having "a boyfriend" rather than "boys who are friends" was an important process. The conversation went back and forth for a while, and at one point I said, "Besides, boys are pretty dumb sometimes."

"Boys are not dumb!" she said.

I looked at her over the top of my bifocals and said, "Kid, I've been a boy. I've dated boys. Believe me. Boys can be dumb."

She was predictably unfazed. "Well, the ones I like aren't dumb."

She'll learn soon enough.

There's a difference between they "can be" dumb and they "are" dumb. I'm with her on this, the one's I like aren't dumb. But they can sure be doofuses sometimes. ;p
