Many Acts of Love

On Valentine’s Day, I read that piece in the New York Times about all the different ways people quietly show their love for their partners.

Going off of frequency-of-mentions alone, the paper would have us believe that the secret to a happy marriage is this: brush your teeth together every morning and/or every night.

Twice daily, y’all.

Even if they’re on a business trip, even if they’re visiting family on the other side of the world — that’s what FaceTime is for.

Are you prepared for the storm of brushing, flossing, and lovemaking?! 🪥😬

Sally Garnatah writes silly things. Some of Sally’s stories are true. For legal purposes, consider all of these posts to be … autofiction, if you can stomach that kind of quasi-pretentious literary stuff. Sally doesn’t read autofiction, though. She’s too much of a country girl. You can find her down by the Tennessee River, out in the woods, standing in a sorghum field — or you can find her right here, on her blog.
