Oh, that last one — that’s it (also, the one about washing hands after pooping). Wait, ALL of them are keepers, dammit!

Be my Valentine! Right after I get confirmation of any genetic abnormalities in your family that may result in unattractive offspring. Also I need to get an IQ test to make some mathematical evaluation of your long term earning potential.

Thanks for your understanding.

I like the contagious ones. one thing i miss about homeschooling is the kids not bringing cooties home constantly.

That’s the only reason homeschooling has ever appealed to me at all.

I’ll probably print these out and use them. I’m terrified of getting lice. Great, now I’m going to itch my head all day.

My head has been itching since I got a notice from school earlier this week. We all had it a few years ago and it was worse than I ever even imagined.

Oh, man, I wish I had some of these to pass out at the homeschool party I got banned from coming to. I could crash it and pass out amazing valentines to the adults, like “Thanks for kicking me out of your group, kiss my ass!” or “If I am ever as uptight as you, please shoot me!”

You got banned from a homeschooling party? That’s got to be a good story. :)

No really. I’m waiting to hear this one.

These are fantastic. I’d love to send these with my little boy to Pre-K on Tuesday! Unfortunatly, he already picked out Cars valentines. lol

19 Kerrie McLoughlin February 10, 2012 at 12:48 pm

Me again! Just wanted to say two things: (1) Forget my homeschool group; I started one called Heathen Homeschoolers instead and (2) We are those lazy people who buy the horrible-for-you Fun Dip packets and pass those out instead of making or buying normal valentines. Maybe I should put that in the Confessional .. :-)

THAT is a homeschooling group I could get on board with!

21 Kerrie McLoughlin February 10, 2012 at 7:58 pm

SM, you would be welcome in our group! It’s all-inclusive … atheists getting along with Christians and so on. We can talk about presidential candidates and pot and gay marriage and not throw down! If someone gets dramatic or can’t be cool, I can just kick ‘em out (except I have issues with that since I got kicked out of a group … so I’m being a big ole baby about keeping one drama queen).

Do you think their parents will mind if I actually send these? :P

They seem more appropriate than some of the overpriced crap they’re peddling at Walmart… and hilarious!

Funny how there’s not much difference between grade school and the workplace.

Apparently, it’s true. Some things never change.

I LOVE these. I think I saw the real live version of “you’re much less gross than any other boy in the class” take place today outside my son’s school. There was an adorable little girl trying REALLY hard to get his attention, and I saw her tugging on her dad’s sleeve to point him out. And then when we were walking home the dad drove past us beeping, and the little girl was waving madly! The Boy told me that she likes him but doesn’t “hand” him. But that he wants to hold hands with her.

Oy. They are 5.

Ha ha! Those are awesome! After doing a little volunteer work in my son’s class there HAS to be one that says: “I’ll whisper sweet nothings in your ear just as soon as you remove that chunk of a carrot.” I’m telling ya. That kid could have used a Qtip or 10. barf!
Love this blog by the way…new reader in the group.

Is it wrong that I want to send some of these to some adults I know? Anonymously of course, or should I say “from a secret admirer?”

Sending these in the children’s backpacks to pass out at school would be wrong, right?

Particularly if I sign them “XOXO, Your PTA President?”

I love the last one! If my son comes home sick from daycare again, he will be put into a giant bubble with a hand santitizer dispenser strapped to his hip. Great cards!!
