I seem to be living in Valentine's Central. How will I keep my sanity, surrounded by two young males utterly smitten by Cupid's bow? Tiddles has rediscovered an old flame - met by chance this afternoon - and brought her home to meet me, and has talked about her ad nauseam ever since. And I mean ad nauseam! All the family plans for the week's holiday are now thrown into the air: "We want to spend as much time together as possible before I go back to school".
As if that weren't bad enough, Smudgelet came home from school on Feb 14th with a gleam in his eye and an irrepressible grin having received his first ever Valentine card - a lovely handmade card and a gift to match, together with an invitation to go to the cinema (with chaperone, thank goodness!). "It appears I have an admirer -it feels good to have a bit of romance!" (Pah, as if I'd know!) So now every other sentence involves the name of Valentine-girl and the reason he didn't finish emptying the dishwasher was "I got distracted dreaming about my wedding to Valentine-girl".
Pass the bucket, please!
(By the way, is it unforgivable of me to encourage Tiddles, unknowing, to take "Flame-Girl" out to the cinema on the same afternoon as Valentine-girl and Smudgelet are sharing a bag of popcorn there? Mwahahahaha)
