Cacti
Why do boys draw so many cacti on walls?
Those aren’t cacti.
Oh …
As I walked into the living room this was the script from a kids’ TV show. I wasn’t entirely sure it was age appropriate, but I figured least harm would be done if I ignored it. And I’d had it on good authority from another parent that word was already going the playground about … s … e … x …
Of course they
weren’t cacti …
… but why do boys draw them on walls. Graffiti I kind of get, as an act of rebellion. And for shock value, you can sort of see why they’d pick a dick. But surely adolescent males should be interested in other things.
Granted, you occasionally get a hastily scribbled pair of tits …
… but why no outlines of shapely feminine arses …
… and surely the ultimate image for shock value would be The C Word …
