WARNING,....PG-14
Little Melissa learns about Valentine's Day.
Little Melissa comes home from first grade and tells her father that
they learned all about the history of Valentine's Day.
"But", she says, "since we're Jewish and St. Valentine was a Catholic
saint, will God be angry with me if I give someone a valentine?"
"No, no sweetheart, of course not. Giving a valentine is all about
love. Who are you going to give a valentine to?'
"Osama Bin Laden", she says.
"Oh", says her shocked daddy, "why him?"
"Well I thought that if a little American Jewish girl could have enough
love to give Osama a valentine, maybe he would show some love too and stop
thinking that we're so bad and he would stop hating us. And if other girls in
my class would send him a valentine too, he would know we meant it and he
would love everyone a lot himself. And then he might go all over the place
telling people how much he loved them, and then the world would be a peaceful
place.
Her father's heart swells with pride and as he hugs her he says,
"Melissa, that's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard."
"I know', says Melissa, "and once that gets him out in the open, our
Marines can shoot the bastard."
