He was also tired of hearing the reason he had to sweat and toil was that he was a boy, whereas his sisters were girls. His dad was also tired; tired of hearing "I wish I was a girl," anytime that he asked his son to do anything he didn't want to do. See how a seemingly innocent punishment backfires and opens up secrets from the past, because there ain't no cure for...
