Boys have no chance in an equitable world. No wonder we had to invent the patriarchy.
11am. Aphro & Wolfe café, Nth Fitzroy.
7ish bro: “I want a Boy Zone Berry milk shake daddy.”
Smiling dad: “I think you mean boysenberry mate.”
7ish bro: “Nah it’s BOY ZONE berry because girls aren’t allowed any! Hahahahahahahah!.”
6ish sis: Barely looking up from her drawing – says wryly: “It should be POISONberry then.” is subsequently high-fived by super-impressed smiling dad and returns to colouring.
7ish bro sulks in that confused “What the fuck just happened?” manner, stunned at being out-funnied and out-punned by his baby sister.
*sigh* boys have no chance in an equitable world. No wonder we had to invent the patriarchy.
