    Mom, if you expect a valentine from your children, you have to tell/demand it. Otherwise they will take you for granted.

    @BenderSastreWhen he insulted Deanna the other day, he did it to hide his interest. (Counter-productive, but very typical of boys.)

    When I was about 9 years old, I decided to give an anonymous valentine to a boy I had a crush on. Another girl saw me put it in his box and told him (despite promising not to), and he made merciless fun of me (not to hide his interest, I’m afraid).

    Oh boy, this will be good! After saying he “hated” her, I’m sure this will clear things right up for her (not!).

    Guess it was just a stroke of luck that he reconnected with Deanna again..Actually, I think it was a car accident, if memory serves.

    Didn’t they “reconnect” because she was in a car accident? I don’t remember the exact details.

    the valentine packs I had as a kid always had one extra special one inside …..since most of the kids bought the same packs they knew if you really liked someone !!!!

    Martha would come back into his life as an adult, where she was working in an office building adjacent to Michael’s. She was now divorced with twin girls. Michael would have a much better relationship with Martha now, and he took advantage of his job as a writer to speculate what would happen had he not married Deanna. He wrote an alternate timeline in which he married Martha instead and imagined how his life ended up and the kind of kids he sired with Martha.

    Little boys just can’t admit to their feelings for a girl… I’ve never understood why, even when I was a little boy. :-s

    I thought that Deanna hates him after Michael’s outburst the other day?

    Years ago, my dad got a very insulting valentine.Rather than blow his top, he just did not mention it to anyone.About a week later, one kid asks him if he got any valentines.“Nope, not a sigle one!”“You didn’t? Why I sent you one!!”
