Today I witnessed a most peculiar phenomenon...
The most men in a store, together deep in thought
that I ever did see.
Fumbling and flipping through cards all the while mumbling to themselves and one another with puzzled expressions on their humble faces.
They were questioning and battling with inner heartstrings and demons to be sure to get the right card and then head into the next isle to seek out the best gift.
Again, the men I watched, silently from a distance as they touched and read, smelled and puzzled over stuffed animals, candles, chocolate and one brave man even picked up a pair of socks with hearts.
So much fuss. So much confusion. Yet every man of every race and job classification sat or stood together in unison, for that perfect gift of love, for their Valentine.
