If You’re Looking For Complete Honesty On Valentine’s Day, These Children Have You Covered

Valentine's Day is apparently no exception. While you might think that a valentine is meant to be sweet or express some great sentiment, these children decided that complete transparency and honesty would be a better route to take.
