“I adorrrrrre, mi amorrrrrrrr,” the men harmonized, singing the chorus of the song over and over. Angelica was in heaven – she loved music and performances, and there was one going on right in her house. She bounced and clapped happily. Tina saw that Bette took note of this and valiantly tried to stand it for Angelica’s sake when Tina knew Bette’s real instinct would have been to talk over the men until they stopped and show them the door.
“Happy Valentine’s, Bette Porter,” the quartet sang, each kneeling on one knee in front of Bette in turn.
It was over. The men stood up, Tina shook their hands and thanked them for a job well done. Then they were gone and Tina and Bette were facing each other.
“So, how did you enjoy your singing telegram?” Tina braved the question that had to be asked.
“It was great. I hope you didn’t go to too much trouble setting that up, T.”
“Oh no,” Tina said airily. “No trouble at all.”
Bette was about to say something and Tina thought the storm was finally going to break, but Tina would never know because at that moment, Angelica knelt on one knee in front of Bette, threw her arms out and began to sing in an unnaturally deep voice. “I adore….”
Bette laughed and scooped up their little ham in her arms. Tina breathed a sigh of relief, saved by her daughter’s adorable impromptu show.
“You sing mama!”
Bette rolled her eyes, but to Tina’s amazement, she gave in and did it. She watched as Bette walked off, still carrying Angelica, the two of them now duetting to that horrible song. The guilt she was feeling dissolved. Her antics were worth it, if forcing Bette into an over-the-top celebration of Valentine’s Day made Angie happy and brought mother and daughter closer together. Tina resumed humming what was now her victory song.
****
Bette hadn’t forgotten about Tina in the midst of all the craziness. Later on, a bouquet of gorgeous pink roses arrived for Tina. She thanked Bette profusely and was even happier when Bette produced a box of white chocolate truffles.
“It was so sweet of you to buy me anything,” Tina said, as she pulled Bette into a close embrace.

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!
