Making The Grade

Making The Grade

My high-school English teacher was well known for being a fair, but hard, grader. 

One day I received a B minus on a theme paper. 

In hopes of bettering my grade and in the spirit of the valentine season, I sent her an extravagant heart-shaped box of chocolates with the pre-printed inscription: "BE MINE." 

The following day, I received in return a valentine from the teacher. It read: 

"Thank you, but it's still BE MINE-US."
