Transcript:
Ernesto: What't this I hear about you drawing my beloved Viola as a giant monster? Petey: Ernesto- Ernesto: But wait! It is she! SEE how, with angel like tread, she carries her tray to the trash can! Viola! Let me assist you! Petey: Agh. Petey: I'll bet if I spoke in complete sentences and wore two sweaters at once, Viola'd be nicer to me! Girl: Not with those table manners.

Ernesto exists, at least for today. Viola D’Amore has improbable rival suitors, and Petey is not helping his case by mashing his sandwich…. The angst of third-grade romance!

I never was popular in school, but somehow managed to have a boyfriend in kindergarten. He would show up at my house, and we’d play. When I eagerly tried to start a conversation with him at the beginning of first grade, he cut me dead. Early lesson in reality.
