I've had some awkward V-Day Moments, from my kid, then 5, trying to soap opera kiss me to my husband trying to stuff himself and champagne into our undersized NYC bathtub to my Ry telling me I make her want to "puke of love." That said, I've decided this year will not be awkward. No, we will all be realistic. So I picked up a pack of those V-Day Conversation Hearts. You know, those chalky candies that are supposed to represent the sweet nothings you would whisper in your lover's ear (like, I LOVE U, B MINE, KISS ME …). And I thought, We've gotta get real. So I give you this list: Phrases that should be etched on those cute little hearts, after a few years of marriage …
