Things I learned volunteering at Zoe's Valentines party

Foam + pipe cleaner + glue = disaster. Foam + pipe cleaner + stapler = success. Elmer's Glue is attracted to cashmere. My favorite name is "Zoe's Mom." I don't respond well to "Hey hey hey hey hey hey." Time flies when you're making Heart People. Googly eyes go everywhere. I'm wholly unprepared to react to the statement, "Hey, Zoe's Mom, Zoe bit me." However, I think I was quite gracious upon hearing, "Hey, Zoe's Mom, I'm sorry I lied about Zoe biting me."

And finally:

Those teachers don't earn nearly enough. Not nearly enough.

I have to go back to work now. And I'm flat-out exhausted. Holy shit.
