Headaches. BIG Headaches...

I may have mentioned before the phenomenon that appears to be very similar to love-at-first-sight that occurred when Miss A met Master D.  Months have passed, and the "relationship" (Heaven help me) shows no signs of weakening...  In church, where they are in the same primary class, they had a lesson on repentance.  They were supposed to write "I'm sorry" letters, but Master D couldn't think of anyone to write to, so he asked the teacher if he could draw a picture for someone he loved...  And this is it.
