He’s On To Me
I just picked up The Boy from preschool where they had a Valentine’s Day party. We drove home and he gave me the ubiquitous construction-paper-heart-glued-on-a-doilie-with-a-picture-of-him-valentine. He ate a couple of the Skittles. Then he said, “Mommy, do you love me?”
“Yes. Do you love me?”
“Yes.”
“Buddy, can you tell me what love is?”
“Valentines.”
“Well, we give valentinues to show our love. Do you know what it is?”
“Friends.”
“We do love our friends. But what IS love?”
Pause.
“Um. Coffee?”
Yes, son. Love is coffee.
My work here is done.

It took me 36 years to figure that one out. He is advanced. Nice work!

Ahhhhh!!!! You’re back! Yeah!
(Obviously I’m a week late, but still–you’re back!)
Okay, the big shoe is a riot and Hank Hugh? You are too funny!
Coffee is love? Well, from the perspective of having been the recipient of about a gazillion fetched grande decaf no-fat, no-whip, extra hot mochas from my husband–I’ll have to agree.
Cute!!
