Fancy word for month, mitigate

Valentine’s Day is next week. I actually bought a card today. It’s sorta funny, but creepy. I hope Punkin likes it. The front has a big red valentine that states, “I want to express my feelings from the bottom of my heart. Happy Valentines.” Inside it says, “Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump!”

I figure a 10-pound box of chocolates will mitigate any fallout from the card. Mitiga…
