If he tries to impress a different girl by erasing a piece of his hand (literally, taking an eraser to the flesh on the top of his hand), do not, repeat: DO NOT do it to yourself in a misguided effort to show him that you're tough, too. It will not work, it will hurt like bejeebus, and like ValenciaAndromeda, the scar will be around for a very long time. And he'll wind up carrying the other girl, who happens to be your best friend, down the stairs in his arms, for some reason that will subsequently be lost to the sands of time.
(Ok, this wasn't 3rd grade, but 8th, but I think the rule still applies).

"Well, she should probably say hi. And I would say hi back. And we could get to talking, and yeah, I guess we could become friends. And save the more serious matters for when we're older."
"The more serious matters"! I love my boy so much.

If I'd known you Belles when I was a little kid, we would have been bff. Your stories are killing me, I haven't laughed this hard since we saw the school pictures and the precious little tiny gay sailor. Who on earth WAS that, by the way?

There is this boy
Whose name is Mike
It is him
I really like.
Mmm. So good. Just don't share it with anyone until the internet is invented and you can spill the beans anonymously.

CrossWord of Jezebel Dot Com
A sub wbo was seeking her dom,
Turned on her tv,
Tuned in to AMC,
And found her Man Man, Jon Hamm.
Like I say, classy.

There once was a boy named Wyatt,
who went and caused a riot.
I have no idea how it ended though, but I agree, classiest poetry.

That's a little Minnesota/AFV humor.

what makes it even sweeter (in my opinion) is that he's usually very invested in a *tough guy* image, and only talks about hunting, guns, sports, or cars. but he's a softie at heart (this same guy tried to convince his parents to let him drive 10 hours one way so he could take me to prom after my date *changed his mind* two weeks before the dance).

Tell him that ellaesther says, um, hi. And that I think he's very cute!

When your 8th grade math teacher catches you writing a letter to "David" during the first day of class and then asks you about it loudly in front of the class, do not try to explain, "it's a friend from camp/youth group/temple." Especially when there is only one Jewish kid in your entire school named David.

Case in point: If you are twelve years old and do not know what the phrase "Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" means, do not use said phrase to one of your father's oldest and dearest friends that you might just have a crush on, even though you love his wife like your mother.
