The big VD. Its weird that a semi religious day is pushed so hard on us from the start. Kids giving paper valentines to other. Of course the popular kids having their "mailboxes" over flowing with them and kids like me having an empty one. How humiliating as a child.
I understand the holiday for adults. A special day set aside for some one special in your heart. Some one (in most cases) that you are or were/are romantically involved, even some one you may consider special. But why push this on kids? I always had a hard time at Valentines day in grade school. I was outside looking in. I hope things are different in the schools today. I hope that its different, but I kinda doubt it. I felt all these odd feeling creep in to me as I watched my son fill out these paper cards for his school mates.He was happy and all I could do is just feel odd. I guess the real difference is that he is part of the school, not just attending it.
Any ways I hope you each got something special from your special some one, whether its a lover or from that heart of a small child just hold it close and smile. Give them back a kiss. Every one enjoys a kiss. -- Peace
