Smiling for Tomorrow

So I kind of got myself into trouble that second week in February. I mentioned in passing a comment you made about how there was no need for a present, or perhaps just a little one. And I mentioned how I just smiled.

Now you knew and I knew that I smiled because I had caught you in a quintessential Trudy moment. You were so busted, and you knew it. And you knew I knew it. You did know that, right?

But not everyone knew that.

They figured that I was smiling because I knew that I was getting you something big in spite of your entreaties to the contrary. And they told me that's what they figured. And so I figured that if they figured that, I was in a big heap of trouble, at which point I figured I would pay closer attention to the approach of Valentine's Day.

And the day passed, and the little Horny Toad tray and the flowerty bracelet seemed to do ok. And now there is tomorrow.

Tomorrow makes it one more spin around the sun. And I notice that you didn't make any comments about presents like you did before.

But I can smile anyway.
