Today is one of my most hated days to be at work. Not because of my feelings of this day, but because I work in a middle school. Most everyone comes into school with a smile, wearing some type of red or pink, bright colored bags of goodies for their friends and teachers. Then some time during the day, the madness begins.
There will be fights today. Some girl gave another girl's boyfriend a card. There will be tears today. Some guy gave a card to one girl but not the other. There will be disappointment and heartbreak. The counsellors office will be full of teary eyed girls and boys . Cupid's arrow will be all off target and they will all want to know why?
Why doesn't he like me? Why does he like her? Why doesn't she think I am the cute guy? Why do all the girls like him and none of them like me?
Then to top it off, at the end of the day all of the candy grams go out and more disappointment mixed in with the glee. All the flowers, balloons and stuffed animals that showed up in the front office will be delivered. The excitement is just too much for the middle school expectations.
Finally the bell will ring and all the emotional rollercoasters will head home. Why can't it just stay as simple as Spiderman Valentine's with a special tattoo attached?
