Not Fit to Write Romance

Afew days ago, I was driving to one of my writing meetings when I spied a youngcouple headed down the sidewalk, hand-in-hand. They looked so happy, so in love, as they stared into each other's eyes,smiling.  I thought to myself, this isromance.  This is what I write about.            The sun had just set, the air sparkling and aglow.  I wanted to capture that moment in the pagesof a book.  And then it happened…            The couple started skipping.            My eyes widened as I watched the two gleefully skipping down the sidewalk,holding hands and swinging their arms. I have to admit, I almost crashed my vanas laughter overcame me.  I barely madeit to the side of the road before the tears of hilarity completely obscured myvision.  Skipping?  Are you seriously kidding me?              I realized I hadn't seen anyone skip since grade schooland even then it wasn't cool.  Have Ilost touch with how it feels to be young and in love?  Am I not fit to write romance?  Would it really work to have my hero and heroineskip down a beautiful garden path so in love that nothing else mattered?            Seriously, have any of you read any romances with somemajor skipping going on?  Be honest now.  :D
