“LOVE”
TIMMY: Daddy Daddy...
DAD: Yes Timmy!
TIMMY: Daddy, I've got an assignment to write for school. Will you help me please?
DAD: Okay!! What's your assignment on?
TIMMY: Love!
DAD: Wow! You have an assignment on it? In my days, the teachers were against our assignments ;)
TIMMY: No Dad, we are supposed to write something on the meaning of love...its Valentine’s Day!
DAD: Love...hmm let me see!
TIMMY: wait. Wait... Let me write it down... :)
DAD: Love... Love is about Lies!
TIMMY: Lies???
DAD: You see, Timmy... All my life, I have said lies in love & I’ve found it to be the best gift you can give a person.
TIMMY: How, Dad?
DAD: Well, the first time I met your mom for a Valentine’s Day 7 yrs ago. She was not the hottest of chicks in college, if you know what I mean...
TIMMY: Hot chick?
DAD: You get it in due time, son... ;) Anyways... I saw this cute girl standing at a corner of the dance floor. I heard one of my friends say that she couldn't get any date for the party. So here I was, cursing my luck as my date's grandma expired & that left me in the same predicament?
TIMMY: predicament?
DAD: Predicament...means. Eh, problem!
TIMMY: Oh...
DAD: So I went up to your Mom and told her...”Hey, How come such a beautiful lady like you does not have all the guys crooning over you?" Now, I knew very well that even I wouldn't have asked her to dance if I had a choice, but it was that one little lie that got us together!
TIMMY: But Dad, aren’t it bad to lie?
DAD: Son, sometimes you have to lie to make the people you love happy!Every Valentine’s Day after that, I used to tell your mom that she was the most beautiful girl in the whole world. Now yes, I think she's cute & pretty in a special kind of way, but you tell me...Do you think she has the legs of Sharon Stone and the figure of Alicia Silverstone?
TIMMY: Eh... I don’t know any of these stones, dad!
DAD: Hmm... Ok... Let’s just say that your mom was just an ordinary Wilma from the Flintstones!
TIMMY: I know Wilma! I know Wilma!!
DAD: He he... & then again... When your mom was pregnant with you... she used to ask me every day how she looked? Did she look fat?Now frankly, she had gained about 30-40 pounds... & was always in one of her moods...But I'd tell her...”Nooooooooooooo Honey, you are glowing! You look fabulous!!Now if I told her she looked like a fat cow, it would have hurt her!
TIMMY: Yak...
DAD: So you see son... Love is when you say those little lies to keep someone happy!Ok... I've got to go now... All the best with your assignment...
TIMMY: Bye Dad!
TIMMY: Love means lying??? Maybe I'll ask Mom, Mommyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...
TIMMY: Mom... Mom... I have an assignment for school... Will you help me?
MOM: Timmy, you know I’ve to go out with daddy in another 1/2 hr
TIMMY: Pleaseeeeeeeee Mommy!
MOM: ok...Timmy. What’s the topic?
TIMMY: Eh... Love!
MOM: Love...Love is about knowing the goodness of a person's heart, honey!
TIMMY: Goodness of heart? Huh?
MOM: It’s like this...When I was in college, your Dad used to tell me I should be in Hollywood. Now I knew he was just lying, but I also knew that he dint want me in Hollywood, but right next to him & when I was pregnant, I used to look so fat I looked like Santa Clause, but your Dad would say I was looked weak n would feed me everything he could find!His lies were so dumb, I even thought I had married a stupid...but the truth is that this stupid cared enough to lie...just to make me happy!
TIMMY: But... he was lying, right?
MOM: Well honey...he was just being a guy!& I knew everytime that he was lying to me... but every single time, I also knew that he said those lies coz he loved me!
TIMMY: Hmm...
MOM: Ok honey... I’ve to go get ready now. Byeeeee
