The total truth about Valentine boxes and flowers

Okay, so Melissa says that I need to post here on occasion so I am going to now. (and maybe never again) I need to clarify a few things from her last posting. Yes, Aubrey and I created a cool box for her Valentines day celebration. There is only one problem. I didn't volunteer. I was volunteered. As a school teacher I feel it is important that we receive all applicable information when making a decision. So, you should receive all of the information from me.

Thursday I had just gotten home from school and Melissa came walking upstairs holding a lame cardboard box, some gold wrapping paper and a tape gun. She told me to be creative and help Aubrey make a box for her Valentines party. Now there is only one problem with this idea of me being creative. I am not creative. I am not even remotely creative, and to make it worse, how is one creative with a lame cardboard box, wrapping paper and a tape gun. It appeared that Aubrey would have a square box, gold wrapping paper around it and, WOW, that's creative, don't you think?

Yes, well, I didn't either, so I decided to build Aubrey something out of wood, because, that would be cool. Melissa explained things well enough, that I don't need to say much more about that. I also need to add that I brought the flowers home to show them how good Melissa looked. The flowers are very impressed with her in case you are wondering.
