Here are some warning signs that you might be carrying the Valentine Day's celebration a little too far:
You started celebrating six weeks ago by having your priest smear a milk chocolate heart on your forehead.
You take down your mailbox and put up a shoe box covered with tissue paper.
You leave your Valentine's Tree up until Memorial Day.
The neighbors are complaining that the big flashing red heart on your front lawn is keeping them awake at night.
Instead of speaking you hand out those candy conversation hearts.
If you do speak you substitute the word 'heart' for the word 'love' as in "I heart beer".
You spend Valentine's Day Eve with the kids coloring Valentine eggs.
Your rape alert whistle plays the "Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet".
You bring home Russell Stover himself to meet your wife.
During an emergency bypass, your surgeon opens your chest and discovers you have a pop-up heart.
About Me
- Wendel Potter
- My writing career took off in 1979 and it continues to roll. I've written comedy for Joan Rivers, Jay Leno, Rodney Dangerfield, and the Yakov Smirnoff Show. I was a weekly columnist for a Nebraska newspaper for 10 years. Several of my short stories have been published in a national magazine, Woman's World. This blog is a return to old columns dear to my heart and new essays that are currently ideas on a close horizon. I hope we can become friends.
