The Boys' Job

Sue: (shouting) "I hate boys!"
Me: Don't use the H word in my class. (We're working on not using the word hate...)
Sue: Well, I really dislike them. They are evil!
Me: We'll not be saying that either because it's mean. Tell me something good about the boys.
Sue: (after hesitation) They are good at their job.
Me: Ok, every time that you want to say that boys are evil from now on, you must say they are good at their job instead. You can even use a mean voice to say it. That way you will be complimenting them instead of being mean.
Sue: Ok, but can I tell you what their job is?
Me: Sure.
Sue: Annoying me!
