Broken Pencils


I remember having to sit at a table with two boys in grade 1. They always gave me a hard time for being a girl, but one day they decided to challenge me to a test of strength. I accepted the challenge. I succeeded. The pencil broke, and within the same second the teacher whipped my chair around to scold me for breaking it. My response was that I was still going to use it, which probably just sounded snarky. To this day I still don’t think I did anything wrong. Boys are dumb!
