My Valentine's Day Surprise

So waking up this morning , I had a pretty calm, low-key valentine's day spanned out in my head. Actually, I didn't really have anything spanned out in my head besides going to work and maybe overcoming my personal sloth and getting to the gym.

However this morning, when my little 7-year old brother Josh came into my room just like he does every morning, handed me some hand-made valentine's day cards. At first I initially wanted to reject him, and asked him why I wasn't good enough to get one of those cool "YugiOh" or "Pokemon" cards he was giving his classmates, haha. Which totally reminded me of those good ol' days where you passed out cards to everybody in your class and some of them even included delicious candies. Anyways, looking back at my brother's hand-made cards this morning, I took some time to open them as I was getting dressed for work and I totally got a kick out of what he wrote:

Dear Melinda, (sister)
You are a good Sister, And your good to me, I love you, You are warm as tea

Dear Norman,
Trees are big, grass is small, you will never be short, you will always be tall

Dear Ba Ba, (dad)
It is dark at night, and light at day, your always my dad, you are better that(than) okay

Dear Ma Ma, (mom)
You are sweet, and so is honey, you are lovable too, like a caring bunny

Love,
Josh

So long story short, I thought his vday cards were freaking awesome and way better than any stupid vday card with pikachu on the front which would've said something like , "[Fill in the blank] I choose youuuu!!!". All in all, I guess it just reminded me of why it's so great to be kid, and why kids are so remarkable. I just don't see how you can beat the creativity and genuineness.

Here are the fronts of the cards and a picture of the kiddo:
