Valentine’s Day Love
My beautiful wife likes coffee crisp candy bars.
I stop into a deli downtown where they have them right there by the register. I always grab a few for her.
She also likes the mini $100,000 Grand bars and the Dollar General has those for a buck a pack.
I toss those in the ‘fridge.
“What are you getting me for Valentine’s Day?” I asked the other day.
“Nothing,” Kathy answered.
“Isn’t that nice?”
A few minutes went by.
“What did you get me?” She asked.
“I always buy your favorite candy,” I said.
“So why do we need a stupid day?” She asked.
“So you buy me something,” I said.
“Well, you ain’t getting nothing.”
Perfect!
I don’t care, obviously. If I want a candy bar I’ll buy one, but I think about the Valentine’s Days of years gone by.
In 2nd grade I had a crush on a girl. I bought her a present.
She gave me the same thing Kathy is going to give me this year.
Nothing.
As a much older romantic I bought a more expensive for the girl who I crushed on in high school.
Yep.
Nothing.
I’ll keep trying, I suppose.
Will grab a few coffee crisps.
Watch my Valentine eat ‘em.
