So did you go out with your parents on Valentine's Day?

I can understand people mixing up romantic and filial love only if they've been reading too much Freud. So did you buy flowers for your matra and pitra?
No, I went out for a quiet dinner with a donkey.

That's pretty radical of these Hindu groups!
Well, the idea was to underline that only animals display love in public. But the truth is that I kind of got turned out at the thought of a dog-donkey union.
All the best. I've got to go now to lecture some youngsters about standing up to their parents.
