The Valentine Phantom

The Valentine Phantom has visited my house since I was a child and the Phantom's arrival early last week was much anticipated by my children. The heart shaped chocolate on the pillow of a previously unmade bed is always the give away. Each day the kids would find tasks that are usually part of their daily responsibilities had been completed. For example, their lunches for school were already made or their laundry neatly folded and put away. Everything the Phantom did was accompanied with a chocolate heart.


Maybe it doesn't seem fair that the Phantom only made the kid's beds. (We left our bed unmade just in case.) And I must admit it would have been nice to discover our laundry had been washed, folded and put away. But don't worry about us, 'cause we knew where the Valentine Phantom's chocolate heart stash was hidden. Oh. Yeah.
