Cooties

            Four boys play in a tree in a park. A pathway splits around the tree; from their perch they see every cyclist and stroller-pusher who passes.
            They call “Yoohoo!” whenever girls their age go by since they have not yet learned catcalls. They don’t expect a response, really.
            “Yoohoo!”
            Again, “YOOHOO!”
            Three girls turn and giggle. “Hello!” they call. “Come down!”
            The boys are confused. Then they laugh and make the youngest of their group climb down. The three left think they have played a trick and come out on top.
            The girls giggle and walk off with the youngest.
