Old Stereotypes


Clare is spending Christmas break working at a park district holiday camp in a nearby, and very progressive, suburb.  (Hint: In a new ordinance approved by the Happy Village board, parents can be fined if their children are caught riding a bike without a helmet.)  One day at camp this week included a game of “Two Truths and a Lie.”
            When it came to Clare’s turn, she said she had traveled out of the country; had a brother; and held a homerun record.  The consensus among the boys in her group was that number three had to be the lie.  People have been sent to re-education camps for less.
