Luckily for you, most elementary school teachers are women. You should be able to handle them just as easily as you do other women, and with the same methods. Avoid the old clichés. For example, bringing an apple to the teacher is bad. On the contrary:
"May I borrow your apple, Miss Brown?"
"Oh, Davie, are you so hungry?"
"Oh, no! We have plenty at home. Just felt a little weak."
(Always be brave.)
"You certainly may have my apple, Davie!"
Your object is not the apple. You may not even like apples. You are trying to win her friendship. She will soon forget the lad who brought the apple, but she will long remember the one who borrows it.
SPREAD HAPPINESS
Your little body will begin to grow, faster than you expect. All the more reason why you should use these golden years wisely, giving yourself a firm foundation on which to build your life. If you forget everything else, remember this: all older women are hungry for love and affection. Give it to them. It is your duty to spread sunshine. Spread it—in fact, spread it thickly. There will always be enough to go around.
