I had to take the bus to work yesterday. On the way back, at 4pm, two girls and one boy, none of them much older than 14, hopped in and sat not far from where I was. The boy kept prodding one of the girls with his finger, and she kept telling him to stop. He eventually did, only to adopt other kinds of teasing. I thought he was a bit obnoxious, until I noticed that the girl never stopped smiling thru the whole thing. So, it is true that boys of that age will do everything to annoy the girls that they like. Because they don't know how to say they like them? At that age, I'd never have done that of course. No, really.
