Valentine

[54warrior]

Little Melissa comes home from first grade and tells her father that
they learned about the history of Valentine's Day. 'Since Valentine's
Day is for a Christian saint and we're Jewish,' she asks, 'Will God get
mad at me for giving someone a valentine?' Melissa's father thinks a
bit, and says, 'No, I don't think God would get mad. Who do you want to
give a Valentine to?' 'Osama Bin Laden,' she says. 'Why Osama Bin
Laden,' her father asks in shock. 'Well,' she says, 'I thought that if
a little American Jewish girl could have enough love to give Osama a
Valentine, he migh t start to think that maybe we're not all bad, and
maybe start loving people a little bit. And if other kids saw what I
did and sent Valentines to Osama, he'd love everyone a lot. And then
he'd start going all over t he place to tell everyone how much he loved
them and how he didn't hate anyone anymore.' Her father's heart swells
and he looks at his daughter wit h new found pride. 'Melissa, that's the
most wonderful thing I've ever heard.'
'I know,' Melissa says, 'and once that gets him out in the open, the
Marines could shoot the bastard.'
