And it tasted like chalky Pepto Bismo. For a change of pace this Valentine’s Day, I decided to catch my children off-guard with being festive. All it took was sending everyone an “adorable” Valentine’s app and a lot of Splenda packets to conjure up the sweetness in our lives for a day. At least that’s what I thought. Guess they don’t call them Conversation Candy for nothing! Have a look . . .

Sick of this son’s smart retorts, I send a heart to his twin brother with a love greeting. It was very flowery and lovey-dovey sentimental.

Finally my 17 year old daughter (who btw takes 45 minutes to decide what she’s gonna wear in the morning) decides to join in . . .

Desserts backwards = Stressed. Of course! And look — this time playing Scramble was HIS idea. At least this confirms I’m with the right guy.
Hope your Valentine’s Day will be a little more on task than ours! And now excuse me while I eat my own words…
