Peter: Jason, I don't think you understand how fifth-grade romance works. Jason: What do you mean? Peter: If you make your Valentine's card for this girl too obnoxious, she's going to think you like her. If you make it too nice, she's going to think you like her. And if you make it too plain vanilla, she's going to think you're just playing hard to get. Jason: Well, what can I write so she won't think I like her?! Peter: Actually, I moved on to sixth grade with fifth still a mystery. Jason: I suppose I could do it in code...that might buy me some time.
If she’s anything like me, it won’t throw her off a bit. ELOO FLSKHU OLYHV!
