bits of a rollicking conversation with my teenage daughter when we were out enjoying nice Indian food for lunch yesterday: -
Her: "Mom, you know the diagnostic test the school gave us yesterday..? It was so easy... like taking candy from a child's hands..."
Me: "Hmmm..really? So..just as well, when you didn't bother to study for it, yeah..?"
Her: "Yeah..! There was this question, an objective one, with illustrated images on the test-paper, denoting the following ..."
Question asked - Which of the following is a animal?
A. Hammer B. Ant C. Desk-top Computer D. Man playing Guitar
So, all of us were discussing the answers, and ALL of us had chosed (B) Ant naturally, WITH the exception of "Avi" (a boy). You know what he marked as his answer? (D) Man playing...
He even argued with us, saying his answer is THE correct one - "Eh..Man is a MAMMAL, OK? An ANT is not an Animal. It's an INSECT!"
"So of course, we had a hot time arguing with Avi about this lahhh.." Then she asks me how would I view this question?
Me: "Well, yeah..Avi is not totally wrong you know. Just how would the examiner of this test-paper have pegged as an answer in his mind, that's all..." And I get shot this incredulous look by my darling girl. "Huh...? Are you OK, Mom?"
Me: "OK...I'm sure the answer is rightly (B) Ant. I guess Avi has a warped sense of logic 
"
From what goes on between the girls ~ the boys in my daughter's class, I can SEE just why there's a marked difference between the two genders. It's like - da boys, having da 'Y' chromosome that sets them apart from da girls, thinks like a yo-yo at times...
