A Good Woman

I’d been hearing vague references over the past weeks about Valentine’s Day so I assumed it was coming up, but had no idea when. It turns out it’s today. This morning my wife, leaving for work, wakes me out of bleery slumber and gives me a kiss, saying, “Happy Valentine’s Day. I didn’t get you anything, so I only have a kiss.” I said, “Great, that’s all I want. I didn’t get you anything either. Have a good day.”

All these artificial “mandated celebrations” are stupid.
