I’ll close out the week of Valentine’s Day with one
more story of romance. Or a form of it, I guess.
NPR reports that there’s an annual event in Japan
called Beloved
Wives Day. The object (apparently) is that husbands publicly proclaim their
love for their wives.
No, no—by “publicly” I mean they get up in front of
a microphone on a Tokyo street & shout, “[Wife’s name], I love you.”
I have no take on whether or not the wives
appreciate this. But I suppose it makes a nice contrast to the infidelity
phones there that I reported on a month ago.
