Conversation Hearts

Valentines Day is always the same. Boys and girls obsess over what to get each other, commercialism is almost as annoying as around Christmas time, and the prices of flowers quadruple. And there--amidst the chocalate--is the staple to all of Valentines Day.

Conversation Hearts.

You know. The little colored hearts made of pure sugar with messages like, "I love you", or "Call me"-- things along those lines.

Truth is, I've never actually met anyone that actually likes these things. I know I don't. Not only do they taste bad, but I get all the rejection messages like, "Go home," or "No chance." Things like that. On Sunday, we were all sharing a bag, and that's all I got. Don't get me wrong, it was funny, but I was beginning to think that Valentines Day was out to get me.

Well, enjoy your day of love-- Happy Valentines Day. May the candy hearts be on your side.
