When I was in grade school…eons ago…you gave Valentine cards to whom you liked. The more popular kids, of course, received more. I am an introvert…didn’t get many if even one.

Then times changed a little and we were required to give one to each and every kid, only one…it blasted out the popularity gig.

Nowadays my dear sweet wife sends out Valentines cards to everyone…even the grandkids.
Back in the day, those many eons ago if I got a card on Valentine’s Day from my grandma…I think it would creep me out.
