Kids say the darnedest things about Valentine’s Day

--Erick, 9
My valentines are my mom and dad, because they take good care of me. They give me food and water.
--Tovis, 8
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."
Karl - age 5
Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss"

When a woman in Stoneham, Mass., used her remote car key, she expected her trunk to open. Instead, the car exploded.
Jackie Sugrue was leaving a discount store when she blew up her Honda Civic.
Cops determined that vapors from her plumber boyfriend’s leaky acetylene tank were ignited by a spark from the trunk sensor.
