More Boobies

The first group of kids I had in the library today ended up staying with me for an extra long time. Paper airplane flying can quickly devolve into complete chaos, so once it was clear they needed something else to do, I suggested they look around the Memorial Library at some of the model airplanes and memorabilia.
I saw two boys laughing at a book that was on display. It looked like it was pictures of '50s swimwear, and there was a woman in a bikini on the front. They were arguing over whether or not she was actually a man. I walked up to them and asked, "Why do you think that is a man?"
Their answer was, "Because there aren't any boobies."
Being somewhat more of an expert on boobies than elementary age boys I can assure you that the woman in the photograph did have breasts. They just weren't ginormous movie star breasts. The youth of today are clearly being taught to have unrealistic expectations.
