guy thing and guys do guy things and we

thing H Ben sky confence

conference we have to play with the

train

mean train here in the

guys break we figured it out yeah we

can't play with the

uh you want to belong yeah we already

belong Benny darling we want to play

with a train yeah okay so we'll

compromise um we'll be the guys mhm and

you be the

way girls

do yeah we'll drive the train and you'll

make

sandwiches what for us train driving men

when we get

hungry I don't know I don't think making

sandwiches sounds like a way to play

with a train yeah oh sure it is you'll

be taking part and then we'll all be

together in a trained General activity

a terrible idea it's an awful idea yeah

it's a great idea huh Julie no let them

sandwiches remember girls can do

anything right meanwhile we guys will do

what guys naturally do right guys right

wo really makes angry

[Applause]

has anyone ever told you that you cannot

do something when you know you can

huh one time I wanted to play handball

with these boys and they said no you

can't you're a girl you don't know how

to play but I finally got into the game

and I played this boy told me I can't

jump rope cuz only girls do that I said

yes I can even though I'm a boy

I'm usually teased because I'm short and

so when I wanted to play basketball

girls at school said I couldn't because

I was too short but I knew I could cuz I

always practiced at home um one day we

were playing kickball me and my brother

and he said that I couldn't kick the

ball far and he was teasing me like that

all day and then so I said fine let's go

play and then I kicked the ball far and

he couldn't catch it well my friend

Renee told me I I couldn't do a backhand

spring but I did it and it surprised her

I was playing baseball somebody told me

that I couldn't play catcher and then at

the end of the season I won an award for

it those kids have had the same problem

that we're having Kiki M but I'm not

giving up I'm going to keep calm and

talk quietly come

selfish and that goes double for

me you think that olders do is to have

tea parties don't
