This kid needs to learn how to write, because I'll be damned if I'm sitting down and writing out a bunch of Valentines to the likes of Quinton and Adrian again next year.
Fortunately, I didn't have to "choo-choo-choose" anyone.
You actually had to PERSONALIZE them?
Back in my day, all you did was buy some Snoopy or Batman valentines, stuff 'em in their unlabeled white envelopes, and make sure each kid got one.
Writing "to" and "from" just seems like a sure way for some kids to get "accidentally" forgotten....
Nowadays they give a list of all members of the class,and you make one for everybody, including yourself. Everyone gets the same.
What? Everyone? Where is the social trauma in that? How can you teach kids that the world is a cruel and heartless place, unless they don't get a valentine's card from the cute red-headed girl (or insert proper gender/hair color) that sits in the second-to-last row in home room? I can't believe the social irresponsibility of schools and parents today.
You mean I walked a mile all the way home from school BEFORE the opening bell in third grade just to pick up my (forgotten) Valentine's cards for NOTHING? Everyone gets one? Even the kids you hate?
That's not fun.
On the other hand, isn't this situation just ripe for a mail merge or something?
Quit your bitchin', when I was a kid we didn't even have Valentine's Day.
For my Valentine's Day, I get to sand drywall. Pete, anytime you want to trade card signing for a lung full of sheet rock dust, please let me know.
Quit your bitchin', when I was a kid we didn't even have Valentine's Day.
Even you aren't that old. And just because no one ever gave you one doesn't mean it didn't exist.
Then again, I adopted that same stance with regard to intercourse in high school.
Aren't you actually more worried about when she can write her own Valentine's cards? I know I would be if I had a daughter.
