Kindergartner takes different approach to Valentine's Day cards for her class

The confidence in this 5-year-old is impressive.

We've all had to write Valentines to our classmates when we were younger, but Michael Cruz Kayne's daughter took a slightly different approach.

On all of her cards this year, she wrote "you love me" to each of her peers. When told that she may have made a mistake, she said simply, "no I didn't."

If only I had that confidence in my 20s that she has at five.

Kayne included her notes as evidence, complete with names to personalize her message.

I can't wait to see if this girl does the same thing for Mother's Day.
