Walking hand in hand along a wooded path together yesterday----
Me: Hey, do you wanna be my Valentine?
Dallas: (quickly exclaiming without hesitation ) YES!!!!
Me: (smiling) Thanks! That's nice.
Him: (smiling too) So now, what do I have to do? (a glint of romance in his eye)
Me: Well, you have to treat me like a queen, wait on me hand and foot, tending to my every need the entire day on Valentines Day and 2 days before. So basically you will be my slave for 3 days. Starting tomorrow.
Him: (not smiling but deep in thought now) Oh.
Him: (more thinking...still not smiling) I don't think I agreed to those conditions.
Me: Sorry, but you did. You accepted the arrangement. Can't help it if you failed to read the fine print. A deal is a deal.
Him: (more thinking...then a big smile) Hey! (excitedly) Do YOU wanna be MY Valentine?!!
Me: (quickly. without thought.) No. No thank you. I'm fine with just you being my Valentine. But thanks anyway.
We walk along the path in silence. (while he contemplates his dilemma...... while I laugh loudly in my head)
