Nine-Year-Old Boy Writes Book On How To Talk To Girls

A creative writing project in a nine-year-old's class has turned into a 46-page hardcover book called "How to Talk to Girls." The original handwritten pamphlet was a bestseller at a school book fair where it sold for $5 a copy. The book fair fame eventually got Alec Greven an invitation to be on a local TV show and a publishing deal with HarperCollins. "It is easy to spot pretty girls because they have big earrings, fancy dresses and all the jewellery," he writes in chapter three. "Pretty girls are like cars that need a lot of oil." I'm sure Alec's book already has a dozen four-star reviews on Amazon.

Smart and popular?

A smart boy, avid reader, who picks up lotsa chicks? Nah... Girls select for dumbness and overconfidence.

Considering that I can publish a book about driving trucks without having actually drived one...

In soviet russia, cars make analogies about you.
