Proverbial Fairy Tale: Lad And Lass

Once upon a time there was a lad who proudly declared that he took only one biology class (of which all he remembered was dissecting some frog), no chemistry classes and no physics classes (worth mentioning). He did take enough mathematics and programming classes to confidently declare that he could read all of that other garbage should he ever want to waste his time doing so.

About the same time there was a lass who had her eyes on the lad. It is unclear whether she pursued him or whether she convinced him to pursue her or whether there was any difference between those two options. Regardless, she got him.

Since biology works no matter how many classes you’ve taken nor how many frogs you’ve dissected nor how many boyfriends you’ve convinced to pursue you, they made a vow to live happily ever after.

  8. Excellent Six!

    “It is unclear whether she pursued him or whether she convinced him to pursue her or whether there was any difference between those two options.“

    and as the Bard is said to have said, ‘Thereby hangs a tale’

    and the rest (as with any Good Six) is left to the Reader

    1. The lad is definitely based on my own experience since I mainly studied mathematics and the only thing I remember from high school biology class is that frog. The lass is more of a humorous male fantasy of female motivation. I don’t think my wife would want to claim it as her story. I am glad you liked the tale. Blessings, Cale!
