Counterpoint: But it’s so sunny outside.

 Point: But that girl out there is wearing a sweater.

Why I’m Not Accepting Candy Handouts: An Editorial By Cambridge Middle School Student Randy Mankiw

 

 We all hear it and, as much as we want to deny it, it’s an inevitable fact of life: “You have to grow up.”
