Last night, Abby excitedly showed me every valentine she had gotten from classmates. After poring over slips of paper from Sami and Ryan and Molly et al I was eating dinner and Abby was enjoying a lollipop. As I ate she approached and stared at me intently. Perhaps she was gauging my jaw as it furiously worked on the cornbread muffin? After a short stare, her statement.
[removing the lollipop deftly…thuch!]
Tomorrow is Valentines Day you know.
[I nodded]
[thuch!…replacing lollipop]
She walked away satisfied.
Oh future in-laws and otherwise close friends of my daughter, may you have a good system for recording dates or an outstanding memory.
Alternatively, as I do, you can let Abby remind you.
If you didn’t take advantage of that subtle (?) little reminder, then you are in BIG TROUBLE!!!
Well, you didn’t say!!
