I’be been a teacher for over 30 years. Mostly in elementary, the last 10 in intermediate. Boys were perpetually falling in love with girls. I was startled at how very young the boys fell in love: kindergarten. The girls, not so much. It was when they became conscious of the high status society put on having a boyfriend that having a “boyfriend” and being in “love” became an object of desire. Usually around 6th or 7th grade.
As a child, I came up with the idea that throwing stones at a wasps’ nest would provide great amusement for me and my friends. No urging from a girl was necessary. The result was multiple stings on my face, similar to what Wallace The Brave received, as depicted in this strip.

For all time males have been doing stupid things to impress females. That includes myself.

From Spud’s smile, I’d say it was worth it.
