The Grand-Sner's Valentine's Card

[fuzzis]

My Grand-Sner sends me a Valentine's Day card every year, which is a little odd since that's the only card she ever sends and she hasn't always done it. The text of this year's card:

Top 20 Reasons Why Chocolate is Better than Men:

All the good chocolate isn't already taken
Chocolate never leaves the seat up
Chocolate is easily molded.
All your friends understand what you see in it.
Every chocolate is rich.
Its sole purpose is to give you pleasure
When you've had enough chocolate, you can put it away in its box.
chocolate might make you fat, but it can't make you pregnant
You can spot the nutty ones immediately.
PMS only makes you appreciate it more.
With chocolate, you can finally admit that size really does matter.
You don't have to go to sleazy bars to pick up chocolate.
Your mother will never say its not good enough for you.
If you and your best friend like the same chocolate, it's not a problem.
Chocolate is always there for you when you need it.
You can have more than one chocolate a day and nobody will call you a slut.
You always know where your chocolate is.
If you want to make it hard, just stick it in the fridge.
With chocolate you never have to fake being satisfied.
Chocolate is always sweet (not just on Valentine's Day).


The Grand-Sner is pretty cool. :-D

Monkey, "Sner" means "mother" in Old Norse, and in Scandanavian countires, "Sner" is used as a diminuitive for "mother", much like "ma" or "mom".

Ahem. Mr. Coy-ote. It just happens to be a true story. (Not necessarily the way it came about for me, but true nonetheless) :-D

No problem Hawkeye. My understanding of the world comes from a boy I dated who was (is) a huge mythology Geek and had (has) particular interest in the Norse myths. He's the one who told me the story...after he heard me using the word. And then some friends of mine from Finland exclaimed over my use of it at about the same time that my Sner had one of her co-workers (from Norway) question her about why her kid was calling her "Sner".

Our roots can be traced back to Scandanavia, so my theory is that somewhere buried deep in my knowing, it was there.
