The Funniest Joke You’ll Hear Today

I was 12 years old when

you told me not to laugh

at boys

“Don’t ever laugh at boys.

      Don’t laugh at boys,

          because they will feel

                      stupid.”

It wasn’t until much later in my life

that I realized that

you were wrong.

Because my brain, emotions,

     and mind

are just important as

those little boys,

who taught me,

that for the rest of my life,

I should hide my body,

I should close my mouth,

I should be pretty.

I am 21 years old, and

I am smart, and I will

laugh at the things that

I find funny.
