So, did anyone happen to step on anyone's feet during the Dragobete festivities?

[Delayed, sure, but it's a day in which he has nothing better to do and it might produce some interesting results, right? Plus he wanted to make sure he was remembering the custom right (after all, he didn't grow up in Romania proper even if he grew up in

Literally or figuratively?

[He's going to chuckle a little. Of course for him that means more like one light "heh" but still. Obviously amused at a joke no oen else gets. He closes the journal and then-] The other day, I remembered a superstition from Dragobete back home.

I never even heard of it until it happened. What is it?

[She almost doesn't want to know, but, well, kids will be curious.]

It's a little like Valentine's Day, but it's actually a celebration of the first part of spring. [A pause as he considers...] It's from Romania, so even though we celebrated it where I grew up I think we had some differing traditions. Anyway, some older people believed that if one member of a couple steps on another's foot on that day they'll be the one in control of the relation.

Why do you ask?

[antisilent]

I remembered a superstition related to the holiday.

[ahappylie]

Oh? And what would that be?

Some older people back home believed that if you step on your partner's foot, you will have the dominant role in your relationship.

[Though actually, it's supposed to be over. But on just makes it seem funnier to him personally]
