No one likes boys! Even girls who like boys can't stand boys! They smell, they talk too much, they mess up everything, and they always have their hands in their pants, but that doesn't mean we can go to school without them! It's like stymphs without bones! It's like witches without warts! Without boys, LIFE HAS NO POINT!

Agatha: "Mother, how do you know is you've found Ever After?"
"Hmmm?" said Calis, bony hands scraping a few roaches into the cauldron.
"The people in a fairy tale, I mean."
"It should say so, dear"
"But what if two people can't see their storybook? How do they know if they're happy?"
"If they have to ask, they probably aren't," said her mother.
