Where are the Boys?

On a recent trip to the seaside, my daughter had fun gamboling by the sea and playing in the sand. However, one little detail left her perplexed. With a frown on her face, she walked up to me and queried, “Papa, where are the boys?”

At 4 years of age, her interest in boys was amusing and disturbing at the same time. Looking around, I noticed there were enough males to keep any woman happy for a long, long time. What exactly did she mean?
Realizing that she hadn’t quite got through to me, she explained, “Look, Papa, there are so many sea-girls (seagulls!) flying about. Where are the sea-boys?”
