[QUOTE="donna723, post: 341559, member: 1883"] Something like that happened to my daughter once and she was absolutely heartbroken! Valentine's Day can sometimes get totally out of hand at the schools! The kids at our high school used to send each other flowers at school to be delivered during school hours! Of course, the local florists loved it but it got ridiculous! Girls would come up to boys and ask them to send them a flower ... my poor son went through one whole paycheck from his afterschool job doing this before he finally learned his lesson! I think the school finally put a stop to it. In elementary school, the way we did it as kids was sooo much better than a lot of the things they do now. We decorated cardboard boxes in art class to put the valentines in. Each kid was given a list of the names of the kids in the class and we would spend a whole evening writing names on little paper valentines and put them in our classmate's boxes the next day. We'd have a party in the classroom and sit there opening valentines and eating cupcakes that somebody's mother made! Things were so much simpler then. Most places you can't do that now and if you brought homemade cupcakes to school some people would react like you were the enemy who was trying to poison their children! How sad! [/QUOTE]
