I was talking to a friend who was upset because one of the kids he coaches was arrested this past weekend. He wrapped up the conversation with "the kid hasn't been the same since his parents divorced." Ouch. That got me down.
And secondly, I found an unsigned Valentines Day card in the W's room. The front message: "I'm giving you my heart for Valentines Day". And inside: "But if you want to play with the package it comes in, that's OK too!" It looks like she bought it (it was still in the bag) but since it is almost two weeks after V-day maybe she had second thoughts about giving it to the guy.
For some reason, that didn't bother me as much as the first story (about the kid). Is this detaching?
