You ever notice how Cupid, the supposed symbol of love, is this little chubby baby with wings? I mean, really? The Greeks had Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and they decide to represent love with a flying baby who shoots arrows? What kind of romantic message is that sending? I can just imagine someone trying to explain this to a kid. "You see, son, love is like getting hit by an arrow from a flying baby." That's a great lesson for the kids. "Billy, if you ever get shot by an arrow from a baby, that means you're in love. And no, don't call the police; it's totally normal."
And let's talk about those arrows for a moment. Sharp, pointy objects randomly flying around, causing people to fall in love? I mean, I've seen romantic comedies, and they usually involve a meet-cute at a coffee shop, not an emergency room. "How did you two meet?" "Oh, I got hit by a love arrow while shopping for groceries. It was a real heart-pounding experience."
So, I propose we update the symbol of love. How about a wise old owl with a cup of coffee, symbolizing the wisdom and warmth that comes with a mature relationship? Or maybe a tortoise – slow and steady wins the race, right? Because let's face it, love isn't always about flying arrows; sometimes it's about navigating life at a tortoise's pace.

Have you ever wondered if Valentine's Day was just a massive conspiracy created by greeting card companies and chocolatiers? I mean, think about it. They strategically place Valentine's Day right after the new year's resolutions. You've just sworn off sweets, and bam! Heart-shaped chocolates are staring you down in every store. It's like they're saying, "Oh, you wanted to lose weight? Well, here's a box of temptation wrapped in red foil." And the cards! Have you seen the price of a Valentine's Day card lately? It's like they're made of gold leaf and unicorn tears. You can spend $5 on a card that plays a cheesy love song when you open it, or you can spend 50 cents on a regular card and just sing to your partner yourself. Trust me; they'll appreciate the effort.
And let's talk about flowers. It's like there's a floral conspiracy to make roses the official currency of love. You walk into a flower shop, and it's like, "A dozen roses, that'll be your first-born child, please." I'm convinced that florists have secret meetings where they plot how to make roses more expensive every year.
So, here's my conspiracy theory: Valentine's Day was invented by the greeting card, chocolate, and floral industries to drain our wallets and keep us perpetually in debt. But hey, if that's what it takes to show someone you love them, I guess I'll reluctantly hand over my credit card and hope they appreciate the financial sacrifice.

Valentine's Day as a kid was like a sugar-infused fairy tale. You had class parties, heart-shaped cookies, and the thrill of passing out valentines to everyone, including that one kid who ate paste but still deserved a card. Fast forward to adulthood, and Valentine's Day is like a high-stakes game of relationship poker. You're all in, hoping your partner doesn't have a poker face that says, "I forgot it was Valentine's Day." As a kid, you'd meticulously choose the perfect valentine for your crush, maybe even throwing in a couple of stickers for extra flair. Now, as an adult, choosing a valentine's card is like navigating a minefield of overly sentimental verses and cheesy one-liners. It's like, "Do I go for the heartfelt poem or the one with a pun about love? Decisions, decisions."
And the gifts! As a kid, a heart-shaped lollipop was a treasure. As an adult, you're sweating bullets, wondering if your partner will appreciate a heartfelt love letter or if they secretly wanted that expensive gadget they've been eyeing. It's like being caught in a romantic episode of "Deal or No Deal."
So here's to the simplicity of childhood valentines and the complicated adult version where the stakes are higher, and the consequences of a wrong move might involve sleeping on the couch.

You know, Valentine's Day is that special time of the year when love is in the air, and apparently, so is the scent of glitter glue and fruit punch in elementary schools. I recently found out that kids nowadays exchange valentines like it's a high-stakes trading card game. I mean, when I was a kid, the most we did was awkwardly hand a heart-shaped card to our crush and then run away like we'd just stolen something. But these kids today, they're like miniature Casanovas. I overheard my nephew planning his Valentine's strategy. He's like, "I'm gonna give a heart-shaped card to Sarah because she shared her cookies with me at lunch, but I'll give a superhero card to Jake because he let me borrow his colored pencils." I'm sitting there thinking, "Man, when I was his age, I was strategizing my Pokémon card deck, not my love life!"
And don't even get me started on the pressure these kids feel. My niece was stressing out about her valentine for weeks. She's like, "What if Johnny thinks my card is too sappy?" I'm like, "Sweetheart, you're eight. The only thing sappy about your card is the glue on the back."
So now, on Valentine's Day, instead of just enjoying candy hearts, these kids are navigating the complexities of romantic diplomacy. I wouldn't be surprised if they start bringing in relationship counselors to recess. "Billy, Susie feels neglected because you played kickball with Jenny. You need to address this immediately during juice box time!
