Nothing was more rewarding, adorable, awkward, or terrifying than 28 fourth graders working together to write this poem about love. For the record, a boy chose the topic “love” and a boy chose the metaphor “butterflies.”

So what happens to the male brain between ages 10 and the age they create their first dating profile that completely erases these sentiments?

I’m just saying. 

Notice no one chose the metaphor ” balloon knot.”
