    • She has no pupils? “I have your number” instantly transforms from cute to creepy when eyes lose their pupils.

  1. The rainbow brite one took me back, glorious 80s nostalgia there, maybe she was my root… Pretty glad it’s not common for kids to send valentines to each other in the uk as I feel my childhood at an all girls school would have largely been a lot of no.7 feelings… I mean it was anyway but you know.

  2. You know, I came to the comment section to remark on how much I’m feeling #7, but it turns out that we all are. So… Good luck with all of our unrequited love, I guess?

  3. #18 how could they have possibly been unaware of the innuendo?
    #21 is creepy, but #13 is really cute.
