Here comes Valentine's! Watch out!

As of yesterday morning, the legend is growing by the minute.

I was silly enough to give into the temptation to go into the dollar store and buy some Valentine's decorations. As exceedingly simple as it would have been to make them myself, I spent a few bucks on some cheesy window stickers and some hanging shiny hearts.

I came in yesterday morning and put them up around the door. The hanging hearts are very light and move whenever someone walks by, which has a really nice effect. And I'm quite proud (although somewhat disappointed) to be the only with with decorations up...

So as the day went on, the legend came together. At first I only overheard it being talked about and then got the low down.

If you touch a pink heart - no, a red heart - no, it doesn't matter what colour it is! , you will fall in love. With the closest person around. Even if you are a teacher. Even if you are already in love with someone else. And you will stay in love with that person until Valentine's - no, until the end of February - no, until next Valentine's day! And if you touch a heart twice, you will stay in love until the Valentine's day after that!! Currently there are about four girls who are officially in love in our class. Clearly they are not being careful enough around the hearts! Oh, and there is no way to get out of being in love.

Aren't they amazing? How do kids come up with this stuff? And almost instantaneously! It makes me want to buy more decorations just to see what else they could come up with!
