Grade school remembrance V-Day was more fun as a kid By Martin Thiel Emerald Contributor At about this point each year. I think back to some of my more poignant Valentine memories It's always nice to look back and realize that I haven t been completely inept at having a special Valentine, after all. in elementary school everyone was my Valentine, or so it seemed I can remember it now as if it were only 13 years ago. Ac tually. it was 13 years ago It was second, third or maybe even fourth grade: things tend to blur together after awhile Being in class everyday with 25 other kids, all of whom were, of course, my best (and only) friends so it seemed. I had to do something special for Valentine s Day to show them how I felt I had my mom drive me to the drugstore so I could check out the big Valentine's Day display It was enormous There were huge candy boxes, stuffed animals and what must have been a mi ion cards to choose from What would be the right j cnoice vvnai if I bought ev eryone a box of candy, or Val entme bear? Would that be enough? Nothing could be And then the cofd sweat came over me I realised l giv ing a Valentine to everyone Line i\ a snowmobile racing across the tundra; suddenly it flit's ami />ms you underneath. At night, the ice u easels come Man (nih ninjg, atn ihuteJ to A teles, ‘u enough, l thought Wti.it would I do? Here is the perfect thing said my mother She held out a box containing a whole bunch ot small Valentines, complete with envelopes meant everyone girls too. even the ones I couldn t stand Mom must have Known how I felt You can t exclude any Turn to Kids.
