Kids Talk Back

We talked with second-grade students at Pomona Elementary School in Costa

Mesa to find out who their Valentines were going to be. Here’s what they

had to say:

“I don’t like girls. So my brother is going to be my Valentine. He is

four. I am going to buy him a Pokemon toy.”

JOHNNY VERA, 8

“My dad is going to be my Valentine because he buys me things like food

and toys. I am going to buy him a card decorated with hearts.”

FRANCY ESCOBAR, 7

“My dad will probably be my Valentine. He is nice to me. I like hanging

out with him. He takes me to the movies. My dad is my best friend.”

“My grandma is going to be my Valentine. Because she’s cute and she likes

me. I go food shopping with her sometimes.”
