Rebels with a Cause

I spent my weekend sick at home. It wasn't much fun. Yesterday, late afternoon, I couldn't take it anymore so I broke down and paid a visit the CVS Minute clinic (which by the way is the best idea of 2009). On my way to the clinic, I pulled up to a red traffic signal. There were two friendly-faced teenage boys standing on the corner, dressed in black waving homemade signs. I was curious -- what they were doing there? It was dusk and way too late for a car wash -- which is usually the reason a teenager stands on the corner with a homemade poster in his hands. I rolled down my tinted window to take a closer look. Scrawled in black magic marker, on white poster board one boy had written this profound statement:

"Girls poop too!!"

His friend held a similar sign which said:

"Have a nice day!" (It included a smiley face.)

Just as I finished reading the signs, the light turned green, so I stepped on the gas -- laughing at the shock of what I just read while thinking to myself: What????? I wasn't sure what they were trying to say, but nevertheless, I found it amusing.
.

Had these boys recently been spurned by girls? Were they mad at their moms?? Was this a dare??? Whatever the reason, you have to hand it too them... standing there with those signs was putting it out there in a big way.

When I got home from the Minute Clinic, I told Eden and Claire about my encounter.

Claire laughed and said "I probably go to school with those guys, what did they look like?"

.

Eden said "It's true... some girls act like they don't poop...... but they do!

.

Glad someone in my family understood the rebel message.
