Valentines Bah Humbug

Valentines Day is today for my 4th grader. His teacher gave him a list of all the kids in the class that he has to give cards to. Which is, everyone. I'm confused. Aren't they supposed to write Valentines cards to the kids they like? And, why does he have to give Valentine cards to BOYS? Isn't that pushing him over to the OTHER side?
If it were up to M, nobody would be getting cards from him. These are just some of his comments to me...
"DO NOT write a girl's name on the hearts cards! Don't even use the hearts cards, mum!"
"Be mine...no pressure... ?? I can't give this to a boy!!"
"What does this one say?... "You'll fill the space in my heart?" Bleuccchhh! Take that card out too."
"Oh no, I have to give one to HER? She likes me! Groan..."
"DO NOT put happy faces on them! I am NOT giving smiley face cards to girls!"
"Yuck! Why do they have to talk about love?"
So, I ask M if he would like to give me a heart card. "Can I be your Valentine, son?" His response... "Yeah... whatever..."
He loves me!
