There are rules for boys. I have been SCHOOLED!
1. NO HEARTS!
2. NO "Love"
3. NO indication that the giver may LIKE the recipient. (This includes phrases like "You Rock", which I thought sounded very neutral... I even suggested we glue gravel to the cards to make them seem more manly... )
4. No Red, unless combined with blues and greens to make it less 'heart" like.
5. NO PINK or PURPLE!!!!
6. If the phrase could possibly be on a Conversation Heart, it cannot be used.
7. It should contain some reference or pun that makes boys giggle.
So, here's what we've come up with for this year:
Evan did inform me that I had crossed a line with the "Love Ryan", but I informed HIM that Ryan was not QUITE as strict with the rules as his older brother. PLUS, I think I earned some extra credit for mocking V-Day while at the same time including a FART reference on his Valentine!
And, there is no CANDY, so I figure that's a Mom Win.
