My period 4, Spanish class, yet another average day. I was delightfully munching away on my very last tidbits of gummy bears that my mom recently bought from Costco. Unfortunately, sitting directly in front of me was a purely obnoxious boy whose only purpose seemed to be insensitively insulting me during everyday's hour of Spanish. He has rudely demanded for my gummy bears multiple times over the course of an hour. Of course, with his condescending attitude, I instantly shut his request out of my mind each time. One day in particular, a befuddling comment was made from another boy who sat beside me when I once again denied the rude boy of any gummy bears. As if casually speaking his standard beliefs, the boy nonchalantly explained, "Lauren, you should just give him the gummy bears. After all, when you're older and you have a husband, you're going to have to be giving him food, cooking for him you know, all the time anyway." I had no words. The pure shock practically stunned every furious word at the very back of my lips to remain at a painful halt. I never could've believed anyone, especially at my age, 16 years old at the time, could foolishly maintain such a biased mindset prominent 50 years before his time.
