At the tender age of 17, Sweet Pea has felt the first sting of a man disappointing her on Valentine's Day. Scooter, the 21 year-old man-cub, screwed up bad.
Breaks my heart for her. She was so excited - this is the first Valentine's Day she's had a boyfriend. They'd agreed not to exchange gifts. As she put it, "I'm not a golddigger. He shouldn't have to buy me something expensive." They'd planned to go out for dinner, and she was just looking forward to a romantic evening - her and her sweetheart.
Schools were closed and Scooter didn't have to go to work, thanks to the snowstorm, so I dropped her off at his place in the afternoon. I was surprised when she called me two hours early to pick her up.
Upon her arrival, he'd handed her a bouquet and said, "Here, my mom made me get you flowers." Strike one.
His friend spent the entire afternoon and evening with them getting beered up. Instead of going to dinner, Scooter ordered pizza. Strrike two.
They made some seriously crude guy jokes she didn't find funny, and then he told her she was being cranky. Steerrrike three.
Oh, Scooter. You're going to have such a bad week.

I have picked up my shovel in honor of Sweet Pea's disappointment...WHERE is the Scooter than needs made into a pie???????
And Sweet Pea...GOOD for you for leaving and not putting up with something you were uncomfortable with!!!! HOO YAH...
Poor Sweet Pea...I feel bad for her.
Tell her she need to roll up a newspaper, whack him a couple times, and say, "Bad Scooter. Bad boy!"
And if she doesn't want to use the newspaper, call the CMDR.
