A nervous Boron was visiting Potassium on her birthday. "What's wrong, Bo?" asked Potassium.

Boron handed her a birthday card. "This is from your mother. She begged me to give it to you."

Potassium reluctantly opened the card. It contained a generous gift-certificate and a short note:

I'm sorry. I love you and miss you. Please call me.

"I think she's finally had a change of heart," Boron said gently.

Potassium abruptly tore the card and the gift-certificate to shreds.

"TOO BAD," Potassium growled. "I HAVEN'T."

Boron respected Potassium's feelings, but felt like her own heart was torn apart.
