Stephen is thoughtful and pretty fantastic at gift giving. He never bemoans going out for Valentine's Day (or any other special occassion). If we could just pinpoint when Valentine's Day is, exactly.
D'arcy came home the other day with a flyer saying they were having a dance at her school on February 21st. (On a side note, it's during school hours for K-5 grades in lieu of Valentine's parties. D'arcy brought down a pair of earrings the other day and said, "I think I'll wear these to the BALL." Julian informed me that it isn't a slow dance kind of thing, it's just a crazy, fast dance event. He proceeded to show me how he plans to dance. He should fit right in to the crazy part.)
Anyway, Stephen says, "Well, you know what else that day is, don't you kids?"
Knowing that he can NEVER, NEVER pinpoint Valentine's Day on a calendar, I egg this conversation on. I say, "Isn't that the day after your mom's birthday?"
Stephen, looking confused says, "Isn't that ...." He trails off because he knows what my mean smile means, and follows up with, "Well, when is Valentine's Day?"
February 17....no 13....no 23rd??????
