Why boys will never win

Last week we babysat our sisters four boys and girl.  We had already planned to attend the Weber State fireworks show so we loaded up two cars worth of kids and headed out.

Megan, as usual, was on top of things and bought a ton of glow sticks beforehand for all the kids.  Within no time, all manner of other children were drawn in to form a mob of glowing kids.  I quickly observed two different behaviors emerge.

The girls immediately banded together, put their wands together, and said "Girl Power!"  They played together and helped each other out.

The boys, on the other hand, completely dissolved into a frenzied battle of stabbing and glow-stick sword fighting.  This picture is hard to make our but shows some of the carnage of boys dead on the ground.  A recent "stabbing" by other boys.
