Cupid

There’s a lot of pressure on a teenage boy when your mum is the goddess of love and your dad is the god of war. Talk about family drama! It’s also completely mortifying that people still see your chubby baby photos in their minds when they think of you.
Maybe this is why Cupid sometimes enjoys adding a sprinkle of mischief to the serious business of love.
You see, although Venus is always telling Cupid he needs to focus and spend more time on target practice for “love’s aim to be true”, our winged hero has been known to shoot his arrows into the wind and let them work their magic wherever they land.
Cupid loves the unpredictability of love. It lights him up inside when his arrows do their work across a crowded room or land where people least expect to find passion. “Love is blind!” is Cupid’s motto and he proves it by squeezing his eyes tight and letting his arrows fly.
Bring Cupid into your home and he will fill it with love - and maybe some good-hearted mischief too (you know what teenage boys are like!)
