A Valentine Description

l
Valentine’s Day was on Saturday that year, so a

women’s group in the area decided to have a social for
married couples. They would have three, one hour
sessions in the morning with speakers sharing how men
and women differ. Afterward, there would be a luncheon
where we could all sit around and visit.
My wife, Donna, showed me the flier. “Would you

like to go?” she asked.
“I have an idea,” I said, after I finished reading it.
“Why don’t they have them speak about how men and
women are the same? That would only take about ten

minutes, and that would leave a lot more time for the
luncheon.”
“Very funny,” she replied.
While we were still talking about whether we would
be going, the phone rang. When Donna answered it, the
person on the other end asked her if she would play the

piano for the social. That clinched it. We had to attend.
As I checked my schedule, I found I had some other
commitments early Saturday morning. Even though I
would be able to be there for most of it, I would have to

be late.
“When you get there, you will come up and sit by
me on the stand won’t you?” Donna asked. “After all, it
is Valentine’s Day.”
“If I get there late, I don’t want to make a big

commotion,” I answered. “I think I will just slip in the
back, and then join you between sessions.”
