"Happy Valentine's day, sir!"

"Happy Valentine's day, sir!" cheerfully chirps the telemarketer, Rajesh from Mumbai.
"Huh?" blurts the startled spouse.
"Happy.Valentine's.day., sir" more slowly and deliberately (probably rolling his eyes from his call center, wondering at this dolt who hadn't heard of V day!)
"What the?/#$@" the spouse again, sputtering at the cheekiness of the telemarketer, encroaching upon territory carefully reserved for the family!
Once the blurting and sputtering died down, I patiently enlightened the dear spouse that Valentine's day had spread its wings from our olden days in college. Now the Save ums on playhouse disney make V day cards for their friends and everyone wishes everyone else a happy Valentine's day...
"But the telemarketer..."
He's still protesting.....
Oh yes, I know what you mean. Saanya's school was so full of it, Valentine Day cards, King and Queen, party, show and tell etc. etc. But no stranger has wished me yet :)
