Kids Corner- Valentine's Day Edition

Written by: Taryn Bertucci
​Welcome back to the Kidz Corner, where the Swift kids get to tell the world what they think. In this issue, I asked the kids all about Valentine's Day. 
Here is what I gathered:

​According to recent polls, the crowd is very mixed on what should be “THE Valentine’s Day Color.” It was a fifty-fifty vote, so I think it is safe to say that pink and red, much like grilled cheese and tomato soup, are better together.

As for favorite Valentine’s Day candies, the classic choice of Hershey Kisses has taken the lead. M&M’s are also popular in the overall palate of the group, with lollipops only gaining 12.5% of the vote. Notice how conversation hearts were not even mentioned? I don’t think that is any coincidence….

​I asked the kids of Swift: “What is the true meaning of Valentine’s Day—Love or Chocolate?” Surprisingly, most of them answered “Love.” I guess these kids have their priorities sorted out….or do they?

​However much those surveyed love love, they are patriotic (or state-riotic?) at heart. Two-thirds of the group said Arizona’s Birthday is the most important holiday taking place on February 14th. ​

Finally, I asked the kids for their best “rizz lines.” For those unfamiliar with the term, it is what they call pickup lines. Here are my two personal favorites:

1. Are you YouTube? Because I want you-tu-be mine.
2. Is your heart the krabby patty secret recipe? Because I want to steal it.

​We hope that everyone has an amazing Valentine’s Day, and if you want to contribute to keeping youth enrichment and mentorship-based programming available to the kids of Swift, feel free to donate at:  https://www.swiftyouth.org/donate.html
