Little Melissa comes home from first grade and tells her father that
they learned about the history of Valentine's Day. "Since Valentine's
Day is
for a Christian saint and we're Jewish," she asks, "Will God get mad at
me for giving someone a valentine?"
Melissa's father thinks a bit, then says "No, I don't think God would
get mad. Who do you want to give a valentine to?"
"Saddam Hussein," she says.
"Why Saddam Hussein ?" her father asks in shock.
"Well," she says, "I thought that if a little American Jewish girl could
have enough love to give Saddam a valentine, he might start to think
that maybe we're not all bad, and maybe start loving people a little
bit.
And if other kids saw what I did and sent valentines to Saddam, he'd
love
everyone a lot. And then he'd start going all over the place to tell
everyone
how much he loved them and how he didn't hate anyone anymore."
Her father's heart swells and he looks at his daughter with newfound
pride. "Melissa, that's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard."
"I know," Melissa says, "and once that gets him out in the open, the
Marines could blow the sh*t out of him."
