A Valentine Card

Its a truly pathetic habit, but I sometimes buy humorous cards and stash them in a box.......not to send to anyone, but just to keep around to provide laughs to me, myself, and I, or maybe an occasional household member, if I feel like sharing the funnies.

The inside of the Valentine card pictured above says, "The Attraction Was Mootual." I love it......it may describe my life to a tee (except the part about her being a "classic beauty", of course). I certainly don't think of myself that way.......but, none of us do, do we? Supposedly, its a fact that the majority of women see themselves as far less attractive and intelligent than they really are.......while a man will tend to believe himself to be the smartest, most attractive person in the room. Don't throw pies at me......I heard this info on a recent John Tesh radio show, though am not 100 percent certain about that.......I did hear it somewhere, though. Its all just human nature.

My supposed Valentine and my son are hauling manure today. I fixed them a nice lunch of raspberry pancakes and cheesy scrambled eggs......I thought it was nice, anyway. A few minutes ago I went back into the kitchen to get drink of water. When I turned the handle on the faucet, the sprayer nozzle drenched me with water. What the heck? Peering closer at the nozzle, I could see that a rubberband had been wrapped around it to hold the handle down. Good grief. My son had disappeared to the basement to put his chore coat on so I hollered down and asked about the suspiciously-placed rubberband. He just chuckled and said, "Happy Valentine's Day". What! I know for a fact that he bought chocolates and a stuffed animal for his girlfriend for Valentine's Day......but, all I get from him is a practical joke. I, who was kind enough to give birth to him. Hummph! Teenaged guys......who can fathom such creatures?

And, you wonder why I'm not into mushy.......there is no such thing around here. I hope YOUR Valentine's Day is going much more romantically.
