There certainly were! Namely in the form of helping the kids celebrate Love Day! Obviously, there wasn’t a heck of a lot to do with Eliza, but Emma. . .well, I was worried about her. You see, there are three traditions on Love Day -- Romantic Spirit, Go On A Date, and Give Flowers. The first two are things a married couple can easily achieve, and a child would naturally ignore. But a newly-aged-up teenager? With no romantic prospects at all? Well, that’s not going to do great things for her mood, is it?
Fortunately, that last tradition is a super easy one to fulfill -- especially when your dad has a big old greenhouse in the back. Though picking flowers is a bit chancy when he also has a hive of angry bees in there. . . Everyone got something, though! Victor picked some roses for Alice (which led to another round of coffin woohoo -- again, didn’t fulfill the whim! Is it only regular old bed woohoo that does it? Ugh. . .I gave up after that), while Emma and Eliza traded a snapdragon and a Christmas Rose respectively. So that was one tradition under everyone’s belt! I was hopeful that that meant that Emma would get at least the neutral “holiday is over!” message, instead of the sad “holiday was awful!” one.
. . .She got the “awful!” one. I guess you have to do at least two traditions to fulfill these holidays. *sigh* Ah well -- at least she can have some private time to get over her sad when I switch back over to the McFlys.
