Further proof that we're the most infantilized generation
« on: February 13, 2011, 06:02:05 AM »
My mom still sends my brother and me Valentine's cards.

Here's what mine looked like (enclosed was $20):



I'm 23.

My brother's 24.

And yes, it's awesome.

My family never did that for me. They wanted me to know that I was unloved.

In high school they'd deliver Candy Grams on Valentine's. I only ever got one, and the card was making fun of me in reference to a rumour someone had started.

</self pity>

You could never pay me to go back to high school.

I feel like Charlie Brown. I only get used Valentines, and typically the day after they've been handed out.

Parents give kids cards for valentine? Odd, we barely give cards to people we like in this frozen wasteland.

I don't know if it's common for parents to give kids valentines, just that my mom does it for us.

Something that none of us on this forum have ever gotten in our lives, clearly. Thinking back, I don't even think I ever got one from my ex. Happy memories, those.

I'll probably get a Valentine from my grandmother because she seems to enjoy sending me cards for literally every occasion (including Halloween), not that I'm complaining. She's about the only one from my family I'm still in contact with, so I <3 her. Even if she treats me like I'm still a child sometimes.  :D

And *Internet hugs* to Arch and Zerl (because I'm too lazy to google a Valentine's card for you guys I care.) And for the record, I was shy/nerdy in high school (still kind of am) and never got candy grams either, though it didn't really bug me that much. I hate Valentine's Day with a passion, although I still buy cards/candy for friends and family.

Since nobody will be home for Valentine's Day tomorrow, my mom gave my sister and I a two-pack Reese's Heart :)

I am easily amused by a rock.  So it wouldn't be something bad to give me.  Even better is coal.

I've always thought that obsidian was kind of a cool rock.
