Why is Daddy Eating All Of My Candy?

It's Valentine's Day!  All of the kids exchanged valentines (i.e. all of the parents exchanged valentines with their kids' names on them).  The names below have been changed to protect the innocent (and me from libel lawsuits).

Here's one from "Kelly" ('s Mom).  Roh Roh!  Is Scooby Doo even on TV anymore?  Somebody needs to tell these people that the 70's are over.


Here's another Scooby Doo valentine (apparently the rights to Scooby's name and image can be got for cheap these days) from Benjamin's teacher Ms. Naya.  She apparently may have told every student that they are her "best friend."  This is setting the kids up for some hard feelings down the road.


This next one is from "Noah".  Yeah, go have a wild Valentine's day!  Set Daddy's truck tires on fire and drive off down the road!  That's a great message for a toddler.  Why not just grab Daddy's shotgun and head to the liquor store for a quick robbery while you're at it?



This next one is from "Kristina."  Believe in your dreams, Benjamin!  Unless your dreams are to dress like a fairy princess when you grow up.  ("Kristina", by the way, is one of the biters in Benjamin's class.  How about if Benjamin's dream is to not come home with bite marks on his leg?  There's a dream to believe in!)

This next one is from "Loralyn."  Peace out, hippy.  "Loralyn" is Benjamin's arch-nemesis, so the whole "Love and Peace" theme of this valentine is just a charade to try to get him to let his guard down.  She's not a biter, but she is a vacant-eyed snot fountain that constantly pushes the other kids and steals their toys and is a perpetual distraction for the teachers.  She opens the refrigerator.  She almost pulled the fire alarm one day.  I'm no pediatrician, but this kid definitely aint right.  "Loralyn" is a short decade away from doing serious time in juvenile detention.


This next one is from "Gabriel."  At least the loveable character on this valentine is from the current decade.  Too bad the greeting makes absolutely no damn sense.


This last one is from "Peyton."  You're awesome valentine!  And what's more awesome than a pig in a life-jacket slowly sliding across an ice-covered lake on a surfboard?


"Peyton" is Benjamin's girlfriend.  They have been buddies since they were in the Infant Room, and they still hang out together a lot.  "Peyton" is always glad to see Benjamin and gives him hugs.  If we lived in India they'd already be married.

The daycare had a Valentine's Day party today.  I got to come and see the children experience their first really big sugar high.  Somebody brought small cupcakes with pink frosting.  That frosting was everywhere.

Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, and my cell phone camera is horrible.  I think it has like 20 pixels.  Anyway, here is the only documentation of the event.  One of the pinkish blobs covered in icing is Benjamin.



The sugar was already rushing to his tiny brain at this point.  He looks like a junkie getting his metamphetamine fix.  At some point, he may have taken a bite out of the spoon.
