Valentine's Day Flash Back

When Megan was in 3rd grade, she had a wonderful teacher that she loved dearly.  When Valentine's Day rolled around, Megan insisted on buying her a giant Hershey's kiss.  The teacher thanked her profusely, took a token bite, and took it home for her husband to eat.

Several days later Megan asked the teacher if she enjoyed the chocolate kiss.  The teacher casually mentioned that her husband, who frequently volunteered in the classroom, had eaten the kiss.  Megan had always loved her husband, but suddenly she was furious with him.  She was SO upset that she stormed around the house for days.  We were at the store after Valentine's Day and found some on clearance.  Megan insisted we purchase another chocolate kiss for her teacher....NOT the teacher's husband.

Poor guy!  He told me later that he felt like his wife threw him under the bus with Megan.  She was mad at him for about a month.  (He also ate the second chocolate kiss, but we never told Megan.)

The following year, Megan purchased TWO chocolate kiss:  one for her former teacher and one for her husband.  He laughed and ate both of them!

This week we were at the store and saw the giant kisses.  Megan remembers part of the story and wanted a picture to remember the year her teacher's husband ate the teacher's Valentine's Day present.  She is still a bit steamed about that, which makes me laugh.
