Miss O'Malley: Class, last year I noticed a problem, with the way Valentine's Day cards were being exchanged. It seems some of you were getting lots of cards while others were getting very few. I've decided that as fifth-graders, you're too young to have to deal with that sort of stress. So this year, I want you to bring enough cards for all of your classmates. That'll make things fair. Of course, this may introduce another sort of stress. Child 1: We have to give cards to girls?!? Child 2: We have to give cards to boys?!!?
Grade school Valentine’s are stupid. Classes give it to everybody, so there’s no true sentiment behind it. Except from your friends. And it’s just not the same when it’s a same gender friend, as it almost exlusively is at that age. it’s nice to read them until your old enough to realize they were forced to write it, so who cares? Then it was just a waste. Sure everybody got the same amount, but the same amount of forced sentiment isn’t a good thing.
