Valentines Day can be stressful. I was looking through vintage valentines and discovered that Valentines have mixed messages. This could be the root of the problem — and it goes back many generations. Take a look at some of these messed-up missives from days gone by:
Vintage valentine #1: I like you so much I won’t sneeze on you?
Vintage valentine #2: I’m a perfect egg?
More vintage valentine: Who likes to be called Toots?
Hmmm… no foursome–
Sorry I broke your heart, now let me mend it?
I love kickin’ your heart around?
You’re my Cheesy Valentine?
I do tricks? On a camel??
Ah, please hit my dog with a stick?
I was looking for honey, but oh well, you’ll do?
Hmm. yea, this must have been written by a man–
I’ll be your maid and clean up after you?
Valentine’s Day has a convoluted history, so maybe we can blame it on that — this gives you a good understanding, and good luck and choosing a card.
lol
Remember: no foursomes!
Happy Birthday, Toots. BTW, do you have that “Maid to order” outfit somewhere in the closet?
I still have some of those grade school Valentine’s cards and look at them sometimes. That was such an innocent wonderful time. Cute post.
