A boy voices his displeasure about girls. He is in the fourth grade.
GIRLS! Who needs 'em?
Heaven knows, I sure don't! Girls are nothing but a big pain in the rear, if you know what I mean!
I don't know why, but girls have always bothered me (and I guess that is why I am glad to be a boy!). They are sneaky, suspicious, and they are always kissin' on me! I don't know what girls find in me; but every time they see me, all they want to do is hug me or kiss me (or worse, pinch my cheeks, which I find ANNOYING)! I sometimes wish I weren't so darn cute; maybe if I were ugly, then those stupid girls would leave me the heck alone!
The girls in my class are always doing dumb things like making googly eyes at me or telling me "how cute I am", and they act like I am some hot Hollywood hunk. I am not much to look at: I am small for my age, I wear glasses, and I have spiky white-blonde hair; and I am skinny. I also happen to be in a wheelchair, and I wear braces on my legs; and you would think that my being in a wheelchair or having these braces on my legs would turn 'em off, but NOOOOO....they have to go stupid on me and embarrass me! It's so stupid how mushy these girls act on me at times!
Girls also do things like have tea parties, sleepovers or slumber parties, play with dolls, or dress up in frilly dresses, and I am sorry, but that just isn't my style. They are too cutsie for me, and I can't handle all that fancy, frilly stuff! I'm a GUY, for Pete's sake! Give me video games or an action movie, and I am happy, not this Olsen Twins or "Li'l Bo Peep"!
Now you know why I don't like girls. YUCK! But what I probably hate worst of all about girls is when they KISS ME! There's nothing worse than GIRL GERMS on my cheeks! :(
This book was written for children to stress the importance of being able to choose who gets to hug or touch them and being able to say NO if they don't want to be hugged or touched.
The multiple award winning, 5 Star story of a baby penguin who searches the world to find the woman that saved his life. A wonderful novel with a Christmas feel. Loved by all 4 - 94. Novel or E-book
