My Funny Valentine

Valentine's Day Conversation 

Mom: Do you know what today is, boys?
Gabe: Valentine's Day!
LT: And it's Lee Bacon Day at school!
Gabe: But Ted, we eat bacon at home.
LT: No, Gabe.  Not bacon.  LEE Bacon, the author.
Gabe: No, Ted, we eat bacon at home, and you shouldn't eat too much.
LT: rolls eyes; ignores brother

Lee Bacon Day at school turned out to be a great success.  Ted was chosen to be part of a group of students to have lunch with Lee Bacon, and he got two signed copies of his books.  LT looked forward to the visit for weeks.  We prepped him with questions, and he decided to ask him how to become a famous author.  Apparently, he was able to ask the question but was so excited about the whole event that he didn't remember what Lee Bacon said.  He did remember that Lee Bacon was tall and funny, so I guess that's something.
