In the Middle Ages, young men and
women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be.
They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week. To wear
your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people
to know how you are feeling.
Think of five or six names of boys or
girls you might marry, as you twist the stem of an apple, recite the
names until the stem comes off. You will marry the person whose name
you were saying when the stem fell off.
A love seat is a wide chair. It was
first made to seat one woman and her wide dress. Later, the love
seat or courting seat had two sections, often in an S-shape. In this
way, a couple could sit together -- but not too closely!
Pick a dandelion that has gone to
seed. Take a deep breath and blow the seeds into the wind. Count the
seeds that remain on the stem. That is the number of children you
will have.
