The principle for Day #35 on the 101-day book report says: "Tell your loved ones that you love them."
A little girl became very enamored with my son today at the park. They played on the swings and ran around for an hour so and then it was time to say goodbye. She climbed out of her car twice to give him a hug, so I asked him what her name was.
"Oh, I love him, but I haven't told him my name." she said.
As for us adults, I guess the flip side is that it's hard to say you love someone. And, like it goes in that Del Amitri song, it's hard to say you don't.
