My daughter Lucy is entering fully into the spirit of Valentines day this year, complete with heart shaped pieces of red and pink paper, crayons, and glue... she is thrilled to be making things and the fruits of her labors are scattered over the table and the floor around her. "See my clementines!" she shouts with glee! And Ella corrects her for about the thousandth time, "Silly, Lucy, you mean 'valentines'." What's a mom to do but laugh and paint the picture that pops into her head? And, then it dawned on me... clementines do have one important thing in common with valentines besides a rhyming ending.... they are both at their best when they are proffered after dinner with some nice chocolate :)

This is hilarious!
And it reminded me of valentine's day... totally didn't see it coming! I probably should make some funny cards... Thanks for the inspiration!
Btw: The clementines look delish! I admire your ability to draw in such a realistic way!
How fun and cute! Your clementine looks so real it seems like a photo on the page - awesome work!
How sweet! Wonderful sketch. And yes, they both are better with chocolate. :) Isn't everything?
Excellent explanation, and yes both good with chocolate
