Cupid’s Arrow Must’ve Missed Me

To follow up on a recent post describing a certain kindergarten boy as quite possibly the next Hugh Hefner, I wanted to say, I stand corrected. This little boy not only made my daughter’s face light up with a gigantic smile, but he also totally showed up my husband on the Hallmark holiday of all holidays.  This little Romeo made a surprise visit here at our house this morning with a long stemmed white rose and a very special Charlie Brown valentine card for my lucky little girl.  He presented it to her with a great big hug and a tiny nervous giggle — what more could a girl want? As I’m standing there with the video camera trying to capture this incredibly sweet and romantic event, I suddenly realized that I hadn’t even gotten so much as a card from my own, much older, valentine! Seriously, what is wrong with this picture?!  My five year old daughter was wooed way more than me.  Kudos, though, to this young stud for making my 35 year-old husband squirm in his shoes!

I have a rule in our house, which I really don’t think is so difficult to follow. It is simply this:  ”If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie.”  Now for the females, it is quite easy to comply with this regulation. The males, however, either cannot remember this easy task or simply don’t care.  I’m thinking about holding some type of target practice with rewards to motivate them to actually hit the inside rather than the outside of the toilet.  I was made aware of this rule infraction once again while I was cleaning the toilets this morning.  I could feel my blood beginning to boil, and then, it dawned on me.  Wait just a minute!  Hold the phone…this is Valentines Day! If anyone should be down on their knees, it should be these two sloppy boys praising me for all my hard work.  I refuse to quibble over dribble today, thank you very much!
