My 8 year-old son wanted a Valentines day box for school that looked like a tank. This is what I came up with in 2 hours with some duct tape and some cereal boxes.

nice. is that a box for cards I assume? that seems like a very american custom. I dont think thats really done over here. to be fair they'd probably have to introduce a rule that everyone sent everyone else a card.

Yes, it's for cards, and yes, everyone gets one is a rule.

That was the rule back when I was in grade school. Back in the seventies. I doubt it's changed since then.

It was definitely a thing here when I was a kid as well, you brought them in, usually enough for the whole class.

Nicely done.

That's a bloody great tank! Good job!

We don't have a box custom in the UK but apparently we send more Valentine's cards to each other than any other nation.

My wife banned me from it this year, to "save money."

Who said romance is dead?

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.

I am a net exporter of Valentines cards. I have, in my life to date, received a grand total of one Valentines card that was not from my wife. I was about 11 years old, and I never found out who it was from...

Ironically enough this year I brought my wife the choo choo choose me card from that Simpson episode where Lisa gives it to Ralph when he doesn't get any.
