Infatuation

Yesterday’s corner time: 7 Minutes.

I think I’m in love and it’s having a positive effect on my corner time.

A new girl has started at my nursery school. She’s called Jane and every time she comes near me, I become flustered and tongue tied. This is generally followed by me doing something incredibly stupid to avoid any embarrassing silences.

However, this hasn’t stopped me from trying to win her affections.

So far, I’ve tried the subtle approach – running around screaming with my pants on my head.

I’ve also tried the direct approach – putting her in a headlock and smothering her with kisses.

Neither seems to have impressed her. Girls are so complex.

Yesterday, she sat next to me at lunch and I could feel the butterflies in my stomach. I knew that I shouldn't have eaten them but there had been another one of those awkward conversational pauses.

Dad suggested that I should try being sweeter and sweep her off her feet. So, I covered myself in sugar and whacked her with a broom. She burst into tears and ran out of the classroom.

That’s the last time I'll take Dad's advice. He obviously knows nothing about the art of seduction.

Matthew.
