The Slice: First rule of fourth grade: No Jedis

Connie King’s grandson was given an assignment at the end of the school year last month.

Having just completed fourth grade, Riley Zielfelder was asked to offer advice to kids who will be fourth-graders this coming fall.

Riley is about to turn 10. It’s clear that he has learned a few things about life. So here is his “Fourth grade survivle guide.”

“Rule # 1 Do not dress up like someone from Star wars or something.”

Check.

“Rule # 2 Don’t replace friends with girls.”

Check.

“Rule # 3 Don’t act all cool or you’ll actualy look like a nerd.”

Check.

“Rule # 4 If you aren’t nice you won’t have any friends.”

Check.

“Rule # 5 Get to know people before you become thier friend. The way to get a lot of friends is to be funny but don’t try too hard and make people think you’re annoying. And finally don’t have friends that are mean.”

Check.

Words to live by.

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill 
If you want to be like the folks on the hill."
