VALENTINES

Greta: I only want to make valentines for Felipe.
Mali: But Greta, that is not fair to all the other people you love. You should make valentines for everyone.
G: But I only want to make them for Felipe.
M: Fine, then I'll make them for the others and sign "Greta" (pause. . . ) Greta, you love lots of people. You love Silas and Asher and August and Branden and Cassie. . .
G: and most of all you. (LOUD GASP) You're right, Mali!! I was not believing in all the others and that is being selfish! I do need to make valentines for all the others because Valentine's Day is about giving and caring and sharing and love. I can't not believe in the others!!!! You always have to believe in the people you love!!!
M: I love Valentine's Day because it's about caring and sharing and giving and loving. . . . . . What are you doing?
G: I'm giving you some love. We'll work on this together.
M: team?
G: team.

Mark: Hey, does anyone want to watch a football game with me on T.V.
G: I'm sorry, Daddy. I would really like to, but I have a lot of work to do.
