“Very funny. Don’t say a word when she comes home talking about how some snot-nosed brat at school is her boyfriend now and toting five pounds of tooth rotting candy.”
“Ehh, she’s only got baby teeth, and they’ll fall out anyway.” To this, Bette just grunted in reply, and Tina felt herself losing patience. “Is there a holiday that you do like, Bette? Is there a reason why you hate them all? Angie’s just a little girl, she’s not bitter and jaded about these things, but she will be if you don’t check this… this attitude you have. Play along or just leave her to enjoy this stuff on her own, can’t you?”
Bette threw her hands up. “I am playing along, as best as I can, T. It’s just another day, altered by conglomerates to get the public to spend more money. Forgive me if I can’t check my brain at the door and enter into the corporate fraud the way you can.”
Tina raised her eyebrows and laughed, out loud this time. “Corporate fraud? You’re kidding, right? God, there’s no need to take it so seriously, Bette. It’s just a day of silly fun, forgotten just as quickly as it comes.”
“Whatever,” Bette grumbled.
“Look, let me finish this, okay? Why don’t you go check on Angie? Maybe read her a selection from Das Kapital?”
With another dirty look, Bette excused herself and left Tina to it. Tina giggled, rolling her eyes, and continued making up the favors for Angie to take to school for the Valentine’s Day party they were going to have. As she worked, her mind wandered. It was strange how violently Bette hated the holidays; she barely tolerated birthdays, at that. Over the years, Tina had become used to Bette’s curmudgeonly take on holidays, but with Angelica finally being old enough to pick up on her Mama B’s not-so-subtle attitude, Tina decided it was time to take action. She was going to put an end to Bette’s habitual hatred of all holidays, and she had the perfect idea of how to do it.
She was going to lay it on an inch thick – she would decorate the house in red, white, and pink. She would make a cd mix of the sappiest love songs ever and keep them in rotation. She would fill bowls full of candy with a Valentine’s theme, buy a pink-frosted cake and heart-shaped cookies. She would give Bette an obnoxiously large plush toy… She would wear a special outfit on Valentine’s Day, and if all went well, on Valentine’s night she would have reason to break out the saucy red lingerie she’d bought but never worn. Tina resolved that she was going to break Bette down one way or another, and she would start right now.

I like the (naughty) way you started the story with the attention-grabbing word: lick. :> Heart-shaped meatballs? LOL! “She did love Bette down to the cockles of her unmoved-by-holidays heart, joke or no joke.” => I love this line! Thanks for this Valentine’s treat, omalley, and have a big red-letter day! :>
This story is great! It put me in such a good mood. So much fun and playfulness. I enjoy when Tina wins over a curmudgeonly Bette. Good show and well done!
I was laughing so hard I fell out of my chair. Angie is so cute. I so loved how Tina played Bette. Thank you
I absolutely HEART that story! and i heart you! write some more please (“,)
Funny stuff…I knew Tina would break Bette eventually! How could I not love a story that starts with “lick”?! Thanks!
Oh my gosh, I’m not even halfway thru this story and I am ROTFLMAO. ina is a beautiful, charming and sweet little vixen. She has the key to the heart and soul of Bette Porter. I’ll come back in little while when I finish. PPS
I’ve never laughed so hard, this was beautifully done. Tina knows just how to break Bette’s resolve on everything as well as how to best show her love for the lovely curmudgeon that is bette as it comes to somethings. Bette will endure almost anything if it is for Tina and Angie., she loves them both so much and they love her just as much. This was fun but also very loving. Thanks for posting it.
Happy Saturday indeed!
This was so much fun that I am still doing a Snoopy dance!!!!! You threw this together last night? Such a great story so quickly? I bow to your magnificent gifts! And, uh, well, ya know, tomorrow is the Daytona 500, and I bet a story about Bette at a car race…
How do I love your B & T? Let me count the ways… Well, I can’t, actually, cos they’re innumerable. The barbershop quartet with that cringe-inducing Color Me Badd song left me weak with laughter… I love all your stuff, so please post something else soon. Thanks so much and Happy V day. :)
Omalley you outdid yourself with this one. Brilliantly funny, superbly written…it doesn’t get any better than this!
sorry, i’m with page 1 Bette on this one. i think that children are being indoctrinated in far too many ways by kapitalism and heterosexism…and the chris brown/rhianna abuse stoush just brings it all home that talented young woman put up with heterosexist power and control crap. nothing against u, but certainly against the whole mind bending concepts behind commercialisation of Halloween, Valentines, Christmas…the Ad men/women and media don’t give a damn about the consequences to women of this twisted mentality that Angie has to buy social acceptance at age 4????!!!!
Awwwww, that was so cute and down right hilarious. The thong had me cracking up and Angie kneeling down to sing to her MammaB brought out a smile. Thank you for the wonderful Valentine’s Day post.
I was crying through most of this story….laughing my ass off!!! Awesome story!!! :D
Amazing, Angie kneeling for Bette und sing – cute. Love it
I love Valentine’s Day because even though I don’t need a holiday to tell my girlfriend I love her, it’s so much fun! It’s a day when you can go all out and be cheesy and not feel bad or corny about it. lol. I just love it, and I’m sooo glad that Tina did this, because if you’re not enjoying it, you’re just angry. I’d rather be having a day of fun little quirky presents and a night of mind-blowing sex than ignoring the holiday altogether. Haha and I loved this story. I was laughing so hard at Bette’s misery. She would only take that crap from Tina, and it was so cute that she did tolerate it. Thanks so much for posting, and yes, please do write more! PPS!
Wow that too cute and i loved tina’s playfullness! :)
I was HOWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLING with laughter! First with Tina laughing her butt off into a tea towel and then with Angelica imitating the barbershop quarter. My guess is that something in Bette’s past has made her not thrilled about the holidays. No matter, she did enjoy her Saturday. :) I think this was a nice treat, especially for those who may not be feeling the spirit. Thank you. :)
I love it. Love it. Love it. Thanks for the holiday story. I felt I needed to think of a holiday story in tribute to yours. Imagine my surprise when there was a wolf holiday, February 15. So, I got so distracted that I never had a chance to come back to leave a comment. (I couldn’t leave one when I read it coz I read it on my office Blackberry.) This was so sweet and believable. Bette melting for her little girl. Her acceptance of Tina sincerity was adorable. Tina’s scheming was so funny. A fun and touching story. I am amazed that you manage to do this again and again. Kudos.
LOL!!sweet!!….
Of course b I believe that since Bette mother abandoned her, and Melvin her father, wasnt always there, maybe didnt have so nice holidays like all other kids even though she was privileged in many ways….but now she has her own family that she could start her own holidays with and should be a lil more open, thankfully she has a wife like Tina who could always remind her and have a good loving time doing so….oh and Angie by the way rotflmao hilarious!
