Love and Peanuts


Peppermint Patty: What do you think love is Chuck? 
Charlie Brown: Well, years ago my dad owned a black, 1934, 2- door Sedan.
Peppermint Patty: What does that have to do with love?
Charlie Brown:  This is what he told me... there was a real cute girl, see. She used to go for rides with him in his car and whenever he’d call for her he’d always open the car door for her. After she got in and he closed the door, he’d walk around the back of the car to the driver’s side but before he could get there she would reach over and press the button locking him out. 
Then she’d just sit there and wrinkle her nose and grin at him.
That’s what I think Love is. 
Peppermint Patty: Sometimes I wonder about you Chuck.
Charlie Brown: *sigh* Me too.

In the inimitable wisdom of the late philosopher Charles M Schulz in "Snoopy, Come Home".
