5 thoughts on “A Valentine’s Day metaphor”

1. Okay… but which one of you is the lettuce and which one of you is the aphid???

   and is this a metaphor for a GOOD valentine?

   As i’m sure you know, aphids destroy lettuce…. I thought it might be about the attraction.. but the lettuce is not attracted to the aphid.. only the aphid to the lettuce..

   This sounds more like a stalker situation, or an abusive relationship..

   is this really a cry for help?

   maybe you hate valentines?

   Did your husband do something wrong and now he’s going to have to work hard apologizing?

   things that make you go, hmmmmm

2. lol :D

   By the way, oincidentally (perhaps this is an intentional coincidence made by dictionary.com), the Word of the Day today is “spoony”, which means “foolishly or sentimentally in love”.

4. LOL doc-t

   Clearly I hadn’t given enough thought to all this!!!

   lol

   I was just standing there, washing my lettuce and . . . and . . .

   Maybe it’s a good thing that I didn’t come up with this in time to launch my Cafe Press greeting card business . . .

5. oh IB, thank you, I’d never heard “spoony” before, I am definitely appropriating that one!
