February 13, 2023: Valentine’s Day

Ursula comes up to Noah and asks, "Can I stay home sick tomorrow? Valentine's sucks." Noah asks her, "Why?" and Ursula scowls and explains, "They force us to be nice and give out valentines to everybody, even if we hate them." Noah smiles and tells her, "Well, they don't want anyone to feel left out." Unimpressed, Ursula crosses her arms and snarls, "It's a stupid, shallow gesture that cheapens the very meaning of what it's supposed to champion!" Noah is irritated at Ursula's lack of Valentine's spirit and retorts, "Aren't you just quoting your big brother Adam justifying buying himself a new dirt bike instead of buying Stacey a ring?" Ursula, hands on hips, snaps back, "What is your point?"

 

I hear ya, Ursula: I also hated Valentine’s Day and the mandated card-giving when I was your age.

Noah, of course, loves Valentine’s Day and is probably wondering if Ursula might, in fact, be a changeling.
