True love:
Tod not getting upset when I back into our neighbor's car and destroy their Acura SUV.
True true love:
Me not blaming Tod (more than once) for parking in front of the driveway and thus causing the crash.
True love:
Parents who want their child to eat vegetables SO MUCH that they create fake dialogue almost every single night to accomplish it.
Tod: Larry, if you eat all your zucchini, you can have a roll with jam on it.
Larry: I don't like zucchini!
Tod: Well...then Mom gets to eat your roll.
Me: I get to eat THAT ROLL? MMMMMMmmmmm I love jam...let me have it....
Tod: Wait...I'd give it to you but I really believe in Larry. He's a healthy kid. He wants to run fast and he knows that vegetables will help him. I think he'll eat his zucchini so you can't have this roll.
Me: Can't I just have one bite...
Tod: (as Larry starts to taste zucchini) No, no, no...Larry is going to eat this roll. I just know it. He's so tough, he can eat anything.
Me: Well, that's true. But why does he have to eat the zucchini?
Tod: Because it has vitamins and nutrients and fiber and it'll make his muscles HUUUUUUUUUGE.......
Larry finally eats the zucchini. Everyone is exhausted.
True love:
Buying the Red Velvet Cupcakes at Costco that Larry's been eyeballing all month.
True true love: Unexpectedly eating one myself in about a minute but saving the other five for the kids........4 1/2 for the kids.
Truest love of all:
Tod hating shows I watch so badly he has physical reactions to them. Makes grossed out sounds. Mocks. Mimicks. Puts all the characters/dialogue/acting down. Yet turns on a movie about a deaf wrestler on Saturday night and I sit and endure it with him. No judgment; except for the part where the deaf kid lays in a rushing river to feel its vibrations...come on. That didn't happen. Where was his mother...

I'll come clean up the candy. And then eat it.
How about our V-day:
I gave Ryan this sweet box of chocolate cigars, and the box says, "Your Smokin!" (and I scribbled out the $4.99 price tag)
And then a v-day card that I signed "love kisser"
Then he gives me a gift bag, and inside was the Michael Khors watch I've been wanting forever!! And a card with a novel written inside.
I sucked at this holiday.
