   What do you mean, retcon? Deanna has always been his childhood sweetheart — he simply didn’t marry her until about 15 years later!

   He didn’t want Ellie to know he is sweet on someone.

   But Ellie knows — notice the smirk.

   Remember, that before he married Deanna, he had two other girlfriends.
   But Martha dumped him for another guy, and Rhetta couldn’t cut the cords to her stifling family.
   Guess it was just a stroke of luck that he reconnected with Deanna again.

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

    When 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!).

    Lynn’s Notes:
    Valentines came in big plastic bags when I was a kid. We’d get, perhaps 25, pretty little cards for a few dollars and we’d give one to everyone in your class. This meant that we all came home with a fistful of valentines. Nobody was left out. It was tradition. In grade one, I had a crush on a boy named Jimmy Thompson. I was crazy about him until Valentine’s Day when I gave him a card, but he didn’t give a card to anyone. I was hurt — I never knew that his family just couldn’t afford them.
