BANANAS

Theo came home yesterday and told us that he had a banana eating contest at school. All the boys brought bananas for snack and they were all eating as fast as they could. Omeed, Theo's friend, said you were finished if you got all the banana in your mouth. Theo said you had to swallow. The girls all voted with Theo: you had to swallow to win. Then they started eating. All the girls were shouting: Theo Theo Theo. Theo swallowed. Omeed stuffed a banana in his mouth. They couldn't decide on the rules and no one won. But how bizaare that the sexes divide out like this in kindergarten. Why weren't there any girls in the banana eating contest? Why were they just cheering?
