Feliz día de San Valentín

With Valentine's Day just around the corner I thought I would share with you a tale from my youth.
It was the night before Valentine's Day and I didn't have any Valentine's. Mom was busy. Can't remember if she had just had a baby, a stake calling or both. So she sent me with my Dad to get some valentine's. We live about 3 blocks from an Albertsons but my Dad instead took me to some store in the ghetto (down by my future middle school, Central) to pick out valentines.
Can't remember if the store was an Ocsco, a Rite Aid or what (it's changed names several times).
I found some valentine's with cute little pictures on them, my dad buys them and we head home. At home, I grab my candy hearts and the valentine's with their envelopes (remember when the valentine's came with envelopes and you spent hours choosing the right valentine and candy hearts with the "right" messages?) and get started.
Apparently something goes wrong in this process so I take a valentine into my mom and ask... What does "Te amo con todo mi corazón?" mean. Not sure of the phrase or my butchering of it but I am sure that my mom's reaction...it was not a happy one.
Ogden circa 1987 was VERY different than Ogden today in many ways...namely, no hispanic children in my school.
Long story short..or at least shorter..my mom got me new valentines, and saved me from many puzzled stares.
My dad would argue his choice in valentine's was just a little ahead of his time!
